The Overprocessed Whitney Darrow, Jr.

Some yellowed original New Yorker art by Whitney Darrow, Jr., appeared on eBay five years ago. The eBay seller did not know the date it was published: June 18, 1960. A pair of women are shown at the Russian Tea Room taking a break from some shopping. One discusses the problem that afflicts her hair in rather specialized terms that she has picked up no doubt at her expensive salon.
"My hair has been overprocessed. I'm having it reconditioned this afternoon."
