R. O. Blechman at "Drawn From The New Yorker: A Centennial Celebration"

One of the many pleasures currently on view at the Society of Illustrators is R. O. Blechman's original art for The New Yorker's 1996 anniversary issue. It is, of course, a witty variation on Rea Irvin's classic Eustace Tilley cover. Who says a woman can't be as effete holding a monocle as a man? This is just a single piece from the exhibition "Drawn From The New Yorker:  A Centennial Celebration."
