A New Yorker State Of Mind On The New Yorker’s 8th Anniversary Issue
This blog never disappoints with its deep dives into the early issues of The New Yorker. Go here to take a ride through the February 18, 1933 issue, celebrating the 8th anniversary of the magazine.
I just pulled that actual issue from the Spill archives and ran through it. Written pieces by E.B. White, Benchley, Frank Sullivan, Alexander Woollcott, and Thurber (a Thurber drawing as well — shown on A NYer State of Mind‘s post); Among the drawings: a William Steig, an Otto Soglow Little King multi-panel, a Helen Hokinson, (a full page) Peter Arno, a Gluyas Williams full page (run vertically), an Alan Dunn… and an Al Frueh caricature of George M. Cohan They really knew how to party in 1933.
