Description

Harold Ross founded The New Yorker to fulfill his dream of a new American humor magazine, full of cartoons, satirical essays, and witty society observations. He recruited fellow Algonquin Roundtable members and set about creating a “reflection in word and picture of metropolitan life . . . with gaiety, wit, and satire.” By virtue of its outstanding cultural impact, the irrepressible New Yorker has become one of the most influential magazines in American publishing history.
