The New Yorker Full Magazine August 12, 1972 Edward Koren Cover
This complete vintage issue of The New Yorker, dated August 12, 1972, features a wonderfully humorous and expressive cover illustration by Edward Koren, whose shaggy, soft-lined characters became some of the magazine’s most recognizable and endearing icons. The issue captures The New Yorker’s signature mix of wit, literature, and commentary, with contributions from S. J. Perelman, M. F. K. Fisher, and May Swenson, alongside cultural and musical reflections by Ellen Willis and Whitney Balliett.
