Helen E. Hokinson's New Yorker cartoon of July 18, 1936 is noteworthy for its prominent one-point perspective and its high vantage point. The perspective leads the eye right to the saleswoman's head, which in addition is framed by the window. The high horizon line affords the reader a frank view of Madame's full figure even though she is sitting down on a couch.
