Who's that character on the front of The New Yorker?
Eleggua.com's report on the year 1925 says this about that snooty old battleaxe-looking man with the monocle:
The first issue of the New Yorker magazine, founded by Harold Ross, hit the newsstands [on February 21st, 1925]. The top hatted character Eustace Tilley appeared on the cover of the first issue and every anniversary issue. In 1999 Mary F. Corey published "The World Through a Monocle: The New Yorker at Midcentury." In 2000 Ben Yagoda authored "About Town: The New Yorker and the World It Made." In 2000 Ranata Adler authored "Gone: The Last Days of the New Yorker."
Why Ranata Adler wrote that escapes me, because it seems to still be publishing.
