OPIS
The New Yorker was launched in 1925, and offers reporting, criticism, essays, fiction, poetry, humour and cartoons. At the start, the founding editor Harold Ross declared that the sophsticated magazine was "not edited for the old lady in Dubuque".
The New Yorker has published works from such acclaimed writers as John Cheever, Roald Dahl, Alice Munro, Haruki Murakami, Vladimir Nabokov, J.D. Salinger, and Shirley Jackson.
From the very first issue, featuring the now iconic monocled dandy Eustace Tilley, The New Yorker's covers have been unique and pointed. The striking and somtimes controversial images from such artists as Peter Arno, William Steig, Saul Steinberg, Jean-Jacques Sempe, and Art. Spiegelman remain as resonant as ever.
