The New Yorker was launched in 1925, and offers reporting, criticism, essays, fiction, poetry, humour, and cartoons. From the very outset, the founders, Harold Ross and Jane Grant, declared that their sophisticated magazine was 'not edited for the old lady in Dubuque'. The New Yorker has also offered great literature in short stories from such acclaimed writers as John Cheever, Roald Dahl, Alice Munro, Haruki Murakami, Vladimir Nabokov, J. D. Salinger, and Shirley Jackson. From the very first issue, the now iconic monocled dandy Eustace Tilley made The New Yorker's covers unique and pointed. These signature traits have continued right up to the present day in the striking and sometimes controversial covers from such artists as Peter Arno, William Steig, Saul Steinberg, Jean-Jacques Sempé, and Art Spiegelman.Selected by Françoise Mouly

Les cartes postales cartonnées sont trés bien réalisées, et la présentation dans un coffret en forme de livre agréable et pratique. Un bel objet qui fait un beau cadeau original à offrir ou à s'offrir.

Pour les fans des couvertures du New Yorker ! Très contente de cet achat : 100 cartes postales dans un coffret original en forme de livre. Dommage que la boîte ne contienne que 100 couvertures...

Just fabulous! Here is a box of postcards of New Yorker covers from the 1920s through 2011. I was really looking forward to them but had some qualms that they might be chosen for their "political correctness" and am happy to say that they were not! In fact, for the most part, these covers appear to have been chosen for their humor, nostalgia, clean lines, story-telling, great colors and somewhat seasonal factors. Not all of my favorites are here, but then I probably have a good deal more than 100 favorites.
I have been a subscriber to The New Yorker for many years and the editors deserve heartfelt applause for daring to stay with the artistic covers and for not falling into the trap of alternating movie stars like Vanity Fair and every single other magazine has done to the immense boredom of readers and subscribers. I actually love my weekly New Yorker more for the covers than for the sameness and predictability of the stories and articles. I sincerely hope that by saying this I haven't jinxed these great artists, and Francoise Mouly, the Art Editor of the magazine, is to be congratuated!

These postcards are very heavy duty. The print on the cards is very detailed and in vivid colors. These are a great buy for the price!

I Love Postacrds and The New Yorker Magazine Covers

I hope this is the first of several sets as I would like to have a copy of all the good New Yorker covers. Even if these are all the best, there were bound to be other honorable mention covers we could have as a second and/or third set.
As a collector of postcard sets, I really like this one in its own box.
