"Drawn From The New Yorker: A Centennial Celebration" continues its run in New York City at the Society of Illustrators. Among the most popular of the many talented artists associated with The New Yorker over the past century is the splendid Charles Addams. His original cover art celebrating the new year of 1938 is set in an observatory. This is his first cover for the magazine, so it can be given for not quite looking like his later, more familiar work.

Addams is also represented in the exhibition with a wordless cartoon from 1949:

Note: The wordless 1949 Charles Addams moving day cartoon was already the subject of a post, which can be found in the blog archives here.

Of course, I'd love to hear from anyone with the uncanny ability to identify the spot artist responsible for this double cask teapot.
