An original cover illustration by
Arthur Getz for the
New Yorker was sold over the summer at Garth's Auctions in Delaware, Ohio. The artwork had been purchased by Mary L. Haynes of Ohio through the
New Yorker at the time of original publication. Mr. Getz wrote to her, "I hope that you will get pleasure from the picture."

A few years ago on eBay another preliminary version of this
New Yorker cover was sold. Does anyone have a picture of it?
Want to see more? It just so happens that I have some gorgeous earlier blog posts in the archives about
Arthur Getz, the
New Yorker's most prolific cover illustrator.
There are also many more examples here of
original New Yorker cover art as well as
preliminary New Yorker cover art. Now just how many blogs do you think can say that?
