The New Yorker’s 1925 Holiday Cover
The New Yorker was just 10 months old when Christmas 1925 rolled around. The cover for that week — the last New Yorker cover of 1925 was by S.W. Reynolds, an artist I know almost nothing about (if anyone can help out with information on him or her, please write in. There was another artist, much earlier, pre-New Yorker, with the same initials, same last name). I do know that the New Yorker artist, Reynolds, contributed a dozen covers to the magazine. The one we see here was his or her second.
Bonus! Here are a couple of spot drawings from the December 26th. ’25 issue; fine early efforts by two of the magazine’s greats: Peter Arno, and Barbara Shermund.
