One of the highlights of the November 4 Illustration Art sale at Heritage Auctions was Edward Sorel's original cover artwork for The New Yorker's December 16, 1996 issue. The magazine gave it the title Christmas Past, Christmas Present. It had been in the collection of Irvin Greif.

Bidding was strong, up at $7,000 (not including the buyer's premium) thirteen hours before the live bidding started. How high would the price go?
