Original Sept. 1933 Vanity Fair with a mirthful caricature of Babe Ruth by Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias on the cover. Among jocks maybe only the Babe could have made the cover of the upper-crust literary mag back then, albeit in a very broad rendering of him swinging, his balloon-like torso, tiny legs and porcine face set against a baseball diamond. 9.75 x 12.75" and NRMT, perfect just for the cover or for the entire magazine with its stories and artwork so reflective of the era. .
