Postcards from the New Yorker

100 gorgeous, whimsical, provocative, unforgettable postcards, each featuring a signature cover of The New Yorker

The New Yorker was launched in 1925, and at the very outset, founders Harold Ross and Jane Grant declared that their sophisticated magazine was “not edited for the old lady in Dubuque.” From the very first issue, the now iconic monocled dandy Eustace Tilley made The New Yorker’s covers unique and pointed. These signature traits have continued right up to the present day in the striking and sometimes controversial covers from such artists as Peter Arno, William Steig, Saul Steinberg, Jean-Jacques Sempé, and Art Spiegelman. Curated by New Yorker art editor Françoise Mouly, this collection of tear-out postcards makes it easy to send a favorite to a friend—or put on the wall for a dash of everyday inspiration.
