In celebration of The New Yorker’s 100th year, The AKC Museum of the Dog will be exhibiting a private collection of 44 dog-themed covers of The New Yorker related to dogs.
The collection spans nearly the entire run of the magazine with covers featuring the work of New Yorker notables such as Peter Arno, James Thurber, Charles Addams, and Mark Ulriksen.
The exhibition will include commentary on the specific covers with additional background material supplied by the staff and archives of The New Yorker. In addition to the role of dogs in the City other themes will include: dog shows, grooming, country life, and sports. There will also be a section of covers produced around the Westminster Kennel Club’s annual dog show, which the museum will also be honoring for its 150th anniversary in an exhibition immediately following.
