Blast from the Cover Art Past #2 ( Artist, Rea Irvin)

Here is another New Yorker cover from 1947.  This one drawn by Rea Irvin, who helped start the magazine. He thought the magazine would fold after a few issues. He would go on to be one of the magazine's iconic illustrators and art editors.  He would eventually create 169 covers for the publication.

This is one of my favorites.
