I recently mentioned that I possess a copy of the above book, ‘Christmas at The New Yorker’. On the cover is a fine gathering of Santas on an underground train.
Founded in 1925, ‘The New Yorker’ is an American magazine featuring journalism, criticism, essays, fiction, cartoons, poetry etc etc. I’ve never bought the magazine but I was interested to delve into the cover illustrations, recently. And over the years, these have been rather characterful.
For instance, I wondered what these children, above, are thinking? I just love the look on their faces!
I’m wondering what the man, above, might be contemplating? He looks somewhat perplexed!
Meanwhile, this little girl seems to know what she wants!
Is this the husband…or the butler? He seems to be doing a very useful task!
What might the lady in the green coat be suggesting?
Does he need help with the trees? Meanwhile, someone can’t decide! (I remember doing the very same at a Christmas Tree Farm, one year! I looked at so many and, in the end, I bought the first one I’d looked at…much to my husband’s absolute delight! 😂😂😂)
This gentleman has found just the place to hang the wreath! Meanwhile, others are having 40 winks.
A fine gathering! What might they be singing?
A bit too much fur, if you ask me!
Santa isn’t just for children!
Caught in the act?
And finally…
The picture that I have in my lounge right now…clocking in…Mustn’t be late! That would never do!
That's an interesting selection of covers! I've never bought the New Yorker either, though I did read a couple of issues once. I never seem to understand or appreciate the humour in the cartoons in the New Yorker,
