Postcards from the New Yorker ─ One Hundred Covers from Ten Decades

A collection of one hundred stylish postcards from the covers of the iconic New Yorker

Launched in 1925, The New Yorker offers journalism, essays, criticism, fiction, poetry, humor, and cartoons, with each issue reflecting a week in modern culture. Established as a sophisticated magazine from the outset, The New Yorker has published the work of such acclaimed writers as Truman Capote, Hannah Arendt, Vladimir Nabokov, Haruki Murakami, J. D. Salinger, and Shirley Jackson. This selection of one hundred of The New Yorker's most striking covers includes work by such influential artists as Saul Steinberg, William Steig, J. J. Sempé, Maira Kalman, and Art Spiegelman, spanning eighty-seven years of the magazine's unique history.

In 1980, Ms. Mouly was the founder, publisher, designer and co-editor with her husband, Art Spiegelman, of the pioneering comics anthology 'RAW', which launched artists such as Charles Burns, Sue Coe, Chris Ware, Xavier Mariscal, and many others. Ms. Mouly has been responsible for over 900 covers over her tenure at The New Yorker, many of which have been chosen by The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) as 'best cover of the year'. Born in Paris, Francoise Mouly studied architecture at the Beaux Arts, and moved to New York in 1974. In 2011 Ms. Mouly was awarded France1s highest honor, the Legion of Honneur.
