The red and blue sails of the boats are attempting to navigate the change in wind, as they are ungraciously tacking and veering too close to the smaller fishing boats.

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 Garrett Price, originally published on August 9th, 1952.
