After enjoying the retrospective "Mort Gerberg Cartoons: A New Yorker's Perspective" at the New-York Historical Society one naturally wants to see the related merchandise available in the gift shop. First off, the NYHistory Store offers signed copies of Mort Gerberg on the Scene (Fantagraphics Underground, 2019). This book collects most or perhaps all of the works in the show. Thenintroduction is by Ann Telnaes. Some older Gerberg publications are available as well, but these are unsigned.
Twelve framed prints in signed, limited editions of ten—only ten!—are available from UncommonGoods. The "Butterfly Changed" print is already sold out.
Perhaps you'd enjoy your morning coffee more in a mug sporting a classic Gerberg deathbed cartoon. Sure, why not.
Notecards are available for those needing to upgrade their stationery.
Magnets are in stock as well although the "Hamilton Tickets" magnets are, as one might guess, sold out.
Going beyond Mr. Gerberg's art, zipper pouches in the store are adorned with New Yorker cartoons by Bob Mankoff, Charles Barsotti, and Danny Shanahan. Trinket trays—what else?—from Nelson Line reproduce cartoons by Leo Cullum, Michael Maslin, Michael Crawford, and Shannon Wheeler.
There is a modern reprint edition of Here is New York (1949, 2018) by E. B. White with a new introduction by White's stepson Roger Angell.
This signed copy of Mort Gerberg on the Scene is now on the scene in my home library.
Note: "Mort Gerberg Cartoons: A New Yorker's Perspective" is on view at the New-York Historical Society through May 5, 2019. The NYHistory Store is right there on the premises.
The complete 2019 Nelson Line New Yorker collection catalogue may be seen here.
