The New Yorker covers: February 8 & 15, 2016

Eustace Tilley (above), a cover illustration by Rea Irvin, has long been the mascot of The New Yorker. Eustace graced the first issue of the magazine when it appeared on February 21, 1925, and he has appeared on many covers since then, usually in February. In recent years, he has been depicted or commemorated in many different ways.

Merriam-Webster defines a garden as “a plot of ground where herbs, fruits, flowers, or vegetables are cultivated,” but the dictionary’s definitions also include this: “a container (such as a window box) planted with usually a variety of small plants.” Houseplants and cut flowers may not meet either definition, but I think they come close.

Over the years, there have been many magazines whose covers have featured the work of highly talented artists and illustrators. But probably no magazine has had more varied and memorable covers, over a longer period of time, than The New Yorker, which was founded in 1925.

October 31 is commonly associated with trick-or-treating, costume parties, haunted houses and jack-o’-lanterns, but Halloween also has religious roots as All Hallows' Eve, which precedes a Christian holy day honoring saints. The origins of the holiday are open to dispute. Just make sure you get the candy ready!
