Ralph Fasanella's Times Square

Ralph Fasanella's cover illustration for The New Yorker's 1993 issue with the "Broadway Jubilee" special section juxtaposes Times Square's vibrant past and present in a single image. Whatever the era, the area is shown with bustling vitality. Still, it's unsettling to see Hitler's name in the middle of a New Yorker cover even as a period detail ("Hitler Invades...").
