New Yorker Postcards

The New Yorker first launched in 1925 and continuously today offers reporting, criticism, essays, fiction, poetry, humor, and cartoons. Explore 100 iconic covers with these New Yorker Postcards!

From the outset, the founders, Harold Ross and Jane Grant, declared that their sophisticated magazine was ‘not edited for the old lady in Dubuque’. The New Yorker has offered great short stories from acclaimed writers such as John Cheever, Roald Dahl, Alice Munro, Haruki Murakami, Vladimir Nabokov, J. D. Salinger, and Shirley Jackson. 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. Send these beautifully illustrated postcards to friends and family all around the world in celebration of The New Yorker’s class and legacy. There is nothing more special and self-affirming than a personal postcard sent from the one you love. Selected by Françoise Mouly.
