Garth Williams: And They're Off!

Illustrator Garth Williams's attempt to break into The New Yorker in the early 1940s produced a good deal of unpublished work (along with seven sales). A racetrack spot, shown here, is certainly not bad but it's not especially compelling either. Given the magazine's surfeit of talent, Williams was unable to carve out a meaningful space for himself there.
