Most of the earth’s surface is covered in water, hence the planet’s nickname as the blue planet. Water, its uses and its relationship to land have held a special appeal for cover artists whose work has appeared in The New Yorker.

In a 1697 play entitled The Mourning Bride, William Congreve famously wrote: “Musick has Charms to soothe a savage Breast, To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.” On a more humble level, music may bring a smile to a reader’s lips, when depicted on a magazine cover.

The cute and lovable critters have worked their way onto the cover of The New Yorker more than a few times.

The New Yorker isn’t Sports Illustrated, of course. But a fair number of sports, from basketball and baseball to golf and hockey, have graced the magazine's covers in one form or another since its founding in 1925.

Birds of almost every size and description have popped up on covers of The New Yorker from time to time. Some of them closely, or at least loosely. resemble actual birds. Others are too whimsical and fanciful to be mistaken for anything that exists in the real world. These are not all birds of a feather, by any means.

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are two sides of the same coin, and when it comes to magazine covers, both days have figured prominently. The New Yorker’s covers often gave a tip of the hat to the outgoing/incoming year. Or they focused on drunken revelry and its “morning after” consequences.
