Celebrating The New Yorker’s Centennial: The Headings From The First Issue
Here, in order of their appearance in The New Yorker‘s debut issue are all of the column headings. The designer/artist was the one-and-only Rea Irvin. Some of the names have survived 100 years, but none of the designs. Of All Thing’s skyline with Eustace Tilley and the owl soon moved to top off The Talk Of The Town, and after some renovating by Mr. Irvin, stayed in place for 92 years before being replaced in its entirety — if you can believe it — by a contemporary redraw.
