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.

Boats, ships, harbors and waterfronts have held a special appeal for many cover artists whose work has appeared in The New Yorker. The aquatic realm has been a frequent presence during the magazine’s long life.

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.

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.

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.

Pets come in many species, but cats and dogs are the most popular. The American Veterinary Medical Association reported in 2024 that the dog population in the U.S. stood at 89.7 million, while the cat population logged in at 73.8 million. The cute and lovable critters have worked their way onto the cover of The New Yorker more than a few times.

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.
