Eustace Tilley - The New Yorker

The New Yorker Magazine cover has been always known as a cultural cachet to reflect the periodical American societies in the publishing industry.

There was a Regency dandy Eustace Tilley who was featured on the cover illustration of the first issue in 1925 by the inaugural art editor Rea Irvin.   Since the first issue of The New Yorker was created in 1925, art editors hired different artists to draw different versions of this white dandy Eustace Tilley on the most every February issue, which gradually became an anniversary tradition to commemorate the founding of The New Yorker and to close out the past year as well as symbolizing the beginning of a new year.

I created an exhibition presents works from the Dowd Illustration Research Archive ( DIRA) and organized exhibition to gain an understanding of practical and theoretical issues related to studying and displaying collections.
