NEW YORKER COVERS 1925 - 1939 HD 1080p 

A wonderful cavalcade of illustration. Thank you Mr Beard.

Although these covers vary in style over that time period, each one is a masterpiece in its own right. Another fine video, Pete. I look forward to the next in this series.

The highlight of the week for me is sitting watching one of your videos, Pete. No fuss, no hype just the shared pleasure of of these delightful illustrations and and your narrative. That and a cup of coffee.

While in college, Graphis, Communication Arts, and The New Yorker were among the magazines I would peruse for the art content. It's a pity magazines seem to be disappearing. So many used to offer showcases for artist, either on the covers or on the pages within.

Another wonderful tour through illustration, Pete. I first encountered many of my own illustration heroes through the pages and covers of the New Yorker: Ronald Searle, Saul Steinberg (another great illustrator who deserves his own video), William Steig and of course the incredible Sempé, to name a few. And, slightly off subject, during those years you highlighted, brilliant writers emerged in those pages as well; James Thurber, Dorthy Parker, S. J. Perelman , Robert Benchley and, my personal writing god, E. B. White. What a time it must have been at the New Yorker! Thanks for this visual travelogue through one of the most creative times in America! Cheers, Pete!

Ahh! I’ve always loved the New Yorker covers and cartoons! Thanks for this insightful view of the early years. I hope you do ALL the years of New Yorker😎🙏🏽💙

Thanks for another fun and informative video. The New Yorker as a magazine never appealed to me, but the covers have been fascinating, especially during the art deco period.

Fantastic , thanks for all the research you do for these Pete. All best in '23

Pete, you are inexhaustible in the manufacture of these videos, which I, for one, am extremely grateful! As much as I thoroughly enjoy your efforts as videos I sometimes wish a publisher would come along and persuade you to turn your videos into books, such as this marvelous one on the covers of the New Yorker. A collections of books, as well as videos, penned by you would be an excellent addition to any art library.

After such an abundant display of so many amazingly gifted illustrators, I’m breathless. Those oh-so-gifted artists can at times make their craft look easy to imitate but we know the truth of that delusion. Style. One must have an impactful style that resonates. It just looks right. It’s delightful to have the opportunity to view their work. Thank you, Mr. Beard.

Wonderful!!! 😍 Perfect timing for a nice calming Pete Beard video. I love the New Yorker. My Grandmother grew up in Jersey City, just across the river from Manhattan. I'm sure those images would have graced her coffee table. You chose a delightful collection to highlight. I have to travel 60 miles in a snow storm today so I was feeling a bit on edge. I was thrilled to see a new video. Delightful distractions are always welcome.

This is the "power" of illustrators : giving you the envy to look inside just with the art covers! Such a great job done ! Thank you again to share this with us !

Another sublime episode. Thanks Pete and great choice of background music, which also did not swamp your narrative.

Thanks for all your content. Just, thank you! It's always a pleasure to learn through your videos.

Those early Modernist covers are my fav's, genus. Thanks again for a wonder walk through illustration history.

The first 15 years of The New Yorker covers were fun to review, particularly the chaotic ones with lots of people & activity. I always wonder where, exactly, the illustrator would start and if he just keeps adding people as he goes. The effect is fascinating. I can stare at those for a long time, trying to make sure I caught all the action. Thanks again, Pete.

Thank you! Wonderful survey and a lot of new names.

Thanks Pete!

Your uploads are always reliably wonderful. Must take so much work. Thank you!

Never fails! I'll be thinking to myself "Hey, I wonder what ol' Pete Beard's up to these days?" and he'll drop another banger video like a day later. Once again, thank you for your insightful contributions to the understanding of the history of illustration.

Wow, I loved this! A greatly interesting theme - with scope for extension, too.

Another fantastic video Pete!😄 Your knowledge is without comparison the deepest i have ever seen in art communities!! Thank you so much👍👍😄😁

truly. As I grow older. The nicest compliment that i can receive is, "You inspire me. " and, my dear Maestro Beard: the highest compliment that I can render in appreciation for all of your hard work, your devotion to high standards of quality, your selfless gift of time/ wisdom and wit, is to declare Sir; with sincerest gratitude and joyful indebtedness, "You inspire me ad infinitum." And. That's a genuine tip o' the hat to you. Respectfully submitted Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca Etats Unis

Pete, a whole video dedicated to one magazine. What ever gave you that idea? I loved it, I wish we were in the jazz age again, such wonderful talent blossoming from the US and Europe. Great video and music to match.

You never seize to entertain, every video, whatever the subject, is beautifully presented and meticulously researched. I very likely used that phrase before, but every time I watch I find it again quite remarkable. To listen to a presenter who doesn't gabble, but speaks almost soothingly is really pleasant. Thank you for another excursion into the world of illustrators.

A delight. What an amazing history of featuring illustration and it continues to do so. I always look on the news stand to see what the cover is, the writing and cartoons are pretty good too. Thank you

Thank you for this! I subscribed to the New Yorker for about two decades. Although some of the articles have become more problematic in recent years, the artwork is still excellent. I think that some of my appreciation of illustration comes from my regular exposure to that work over the years.

You once again manage to pull out a niche within a niche, Pete! Beautiful oeuvre of the roaring Twenties till the Depression and the party pooping WWII. Even the illustrations/illustrators inside of the magazines and the popular cartoons deserve a few showings!

Marvelous, many thanks for your wonderful work!

Your channel is a darling on youtube, keep it up I love your work!

Another typically fascinating episode. I grew up with the _New Yorker,_ although not back then. I remember that most of their covers in the fifties and sixties were also striking, along with often wonderful cartoons.

Wow! Thanks for making this video! I would never know about this! :D

Thanks, Pete. A fabulous summation with ravishing images!

Excellent coverage of beautiful art! NEW YORKER covers have maintained their singular standard of wit and freshness for nigh on a century, an amazing feat. In this age of slick photography and AI dreck, their insistence of the human touch in illustration gives me hope more than any current media in any genre. My Brooklynite dad was a Peter Arno fiend, and his Arno collections squirreled away in the basement credenza were a fascinating treasure to explore. Absorbing the wonders of SIZZLING PLATTER and MAN IN THE SHOWER gave me a better education than inane kid books.

Most enjoyable video about the New Yorker cover illustrators ….such a variety of styles

Your voice and narration are most relaxing. Good content too. Well done.

Mr. Beard, your videos are a delight. Your research is incredible, and each new one is very important for me, an illustrator too! Please keep up with this wonderfull work!

Informative and concise. Thank you.

I love the art of the 20th century. And you're channel helps discovering it more, thanks.

Amazing, how did i miss this? thanks Pete.

Interesting taking the history and development of one particular magazine. A new thread maybe? Thanks Pete

Your work is breath taking - thank you sincerely, what a gift❤

Excellent, well researched

I subscribed to The New Yorker for awhile ... many years ago🙂

Wow, did not know the story behind the covers! Thanks!

Wonderful episode. Love the great music!

Beautiful. Would love to see a feature on the cover artists of the post WW II decades, particularly Arthur Getz, my favorite!

This was lovely. Thank you.

Great video as always! Congratulations!

I REALLY enjoyed this. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s seeing every single monthly New Yorker cover during those formative years. I still love their covers. I see that the first covers set the tone for the next 100 years. Yay

Beautiful. Been a subscriber via my family and on my own since the 80s. I'm a good writer because I read The New Yorker!

Thanks so much for these beautiful and informative looks at the rich history of illustration. The art world is bereft of an important part of its geography when it doesn’t put illustration on an equal footing with any other 2-d talent.

During those years magazines dominated the trends and styles that were taking on the world. So many europeans! I never knew! Such a wonderful education you offer! I always hope that your will receive some reward for all the effort you put into these, if not, at least some great satisfaction in knowing how many appreciate it all? Tnx!

I wonder if, speaking of which, you might do something on James Thurber. Other writers have had the Art Streak- Twain, Hesse, Vonnegut, probably more. Might be something there.

Great video on more Art Deco illustrations that I love. Rea Irvin was the best in my opinion and he was good at picking out other cover illustrators who could keep making us laugh

Oh, what could equal those covers except the cartoon inside? My all-time favorite: the devil asks a guy, "Do you want to go to Hell now or live in your home while it's being remodeled?"

Wonderfully done! I really enjoyed that one. :)

Happy New Year!

thank you for the good video!

in the words of Uta Hagen in Donald Margulies' Collected Stories... 'no one has enough time for the New Yorker".... I can recall getting it weekly, and *never* being able to get through it in the week, before the next one came out.

The cover on the right at 10:30 made me burst out laughing. It was that funny.

Excellent....as always....E...

If I may suggest it'll be great if you make a video about cartoonist Chas Addams

so much gorgeous cover art🥰would make a gorgeous wallpaper😛

👍👍👍

👍Thank you. 🇬🇧🇵🇹

Truly a bygone era

Loved it. Eye- and also Ear-Candy for me. Sorry for my englisch.

Another engrossing video, Godbless!

when my daughter was in junior high school, during a conversation, i said, you've never seen a porn magazine in our house. she replied, yes we did. what magazine was that? the new yorker. it took me a while to see the connection.,

*Thanks* Pete for another presentation Not a fan of the New Yorker. Dare say, rather snotty :)

Shame that illustration is a Dead art .... Magazine covers might be more interesting than they are . with artist interpreting what They see ....ho hum..!!!

Fantastic idea to present the cover of The New Yorker.... Keep the good work one. Greetings 🇬🇷💖🍉

wonderful as always ,thank you pete for another compendium of information

again great work mate

👍👍👍👍👍
