The final example of original New Yorker cover art by Constantin Alajálov in the collection of the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts is a superb illustration of a Broadway theatre lobby at intermission. Dress, of course, is far less formal today, but the experience of attending a Broadway production is still totally recognizable from this 1940 illustration.

The only thing I have to add to the Clark's metadata is the publication history:
