The New Yorker at One Hundred

The New Yorker's first issue was dated February 21, 1925, exactly one hundred years ago today. Rea Irvin's inaugural cover illustration must have mystified many people who saw it at the newsstand. Today, of course, we can see it for what it is: a classic. Happy birthday to The New Yorker.
