The New Yorker: 100 Covers from Ten Decades

The New Yorker

Overview

Launched in 1925, The New Yorker magazine has consistently offered a sophisticated blend of reporting, criticism, essays, fiction, poetry, humor, and cartoons. From its inception, the publication aimed for a discerning audience, famously stating it was 'not edited for the old lady in Dubuque.' The magazine has been a platform for acclaimed short stories by writers such as John Cheever, Roald Dahl, Alice Munro, Haruki Murakami, Vladimir Nabokov, J. D. Salinger, and Shirley Jackson. Its distinctive covers, often featuring the iconic monocled dandy Eustace Tilley, have been a signature element since the first issue, continuing with striking and sometimes controversial artwork from artists like Peter Arno, William Steig, Saul Steinberg, Jean-Jacques Sempé, and Art Spiegelman.
