The worldly Peter Arno wants you to know your way around Paris. Note how well he handles the lighting of this after-dark street scene and how distinctly out of place the American couple at the center of this image appears.
Note: How many blogs do you think can give you a tour of original New Yorker cartoon art? I promise you won't get lost.
If I'm counting right, there are 67 previous blog posts here which mention Peter Arno. Have a look at any or all of them, but remember: I can't keep this up forever. If you'd like to share any original art, correspondence, photos, or obscure Arno publications, get in touch—and soon!
