In this fantastical vision we see an elderly hiker standing on a lush forest bluff with his dog. With art-pad in hand the aged hiker takes in the view of the Island of Manhattan whose Skyscrapers are ominously overgrown with thick vegetation.

The covers of The New Yorker have entertained and enlightened the magazine's readers for nearly a century. With unmatched visual sophistication and wit, they let no subject escape their scrutiny.

A roster of extraordinary artists continues to create indelible images that are infinitely varied in style and tone, whether whimsical, provocative, serene, or lough-out-loud funny. 

New Yorker Cover by Artist Bob Knox, originally published on September 17th, 1990.
