Latest Addition to the Spill Library: Coping with The ’70s — a New Yorker Advertising Booklet
The number of New Yorker ad booklets seems endless. I wonder if anyone kept track of how many were produced. Just this week, six more have been added to the Spill‘s library (the other five haven’t arrived yet — I’m just showing you the one that has). The cover cartoon is by one of the best, Charles Barsotti.
I like that this one addresses a particular time period — it’s almost like having a mini-New Yorker Album of drawings for the early 1970s. Here’s the introductory text sporting a drawing by the late great Frank Modell.
Here’s a bit of a rarity for these ad booklets: a double page spread. One of The New Yorker‘s greatest, Charles Saxon is the artist.
The back cover honors go to Chon Day.
