The New Yorker covers: May 5, 1973

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.

As with several other holidays, Easter is both religious and secular. The Christian Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus. The secular Easter gives a starring role to a mythical bunny that distributes chocolate eggs or other sweets to children. Why the Easter Bunny is a non-laying rabbit rather than a hen is beyond me.

Humans domesticated horses thousands of years ago, but they didn't appear on the cover of The New Yorker until the 20th century. Which makes perfect sense because the magazine wasn't founded until 1925! Since then, horses have periodically graced the magazine's cover in various guises: realistic, stylized, and comical.

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.

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.

When was the first thanksgiving in what would become the United States? Virginia says 1619 in, of course, Virginia. More familiar, though, is a 1621 feast in what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, involving Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people. Competing claims aside, the American holiday is now celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November.

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.

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.

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.
