Happy 94th Birthday, Edward Sorel!
All the best wishes for Edward Sorel, born this day in 1929. Mr. Sorel’s most recent book is his memoir, Profusely Illustrated, published last year. In his honor, I’m showing some of his other books, each and every one, a must-read.
…and let’s not forget Sorel’s first New Yorker cover. It heralded the beginning of many more great covers to come.

A New Yorker Cartoonist Visits The Sempe Exhibit
Liza Donnelly, who began contributing to The New Yorker in 1979 [fun fact: that was just a year after Sempe began contributing], visited the J.J. Sempe Exhibit being held (for just three more days!) at The French Institute.
Here’s a short piece, “The Hand Of The Artist” by Ms. Donnelly on the artist and the exhibit.

Wonderful tribute to Sempe, Liza. Always loved his work.
