{"product_id":"new-yorker-cover-51","title":"Birthday Girl- The New Yorker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delightful New Yorker cover from September 1953 captures a moment familiar to anyone who has survived a family birthday party. A chorus of enthusiastic adults, cocktails in hand, belts out what is unmistakably 'Happy Birthday' while a young girl in blue sits before her cake with the particular expression of a child who wishes the adults would just get on with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerry Barlow's loose watercolor technique perfectly captures the genial chaos of mid-century domestic celebration. The composition draws the eye around the circle of singers, from the bald gentleman throwing his head back with gusto to the woman in pink who seems to be hitting the high notes with particular fervor. The birthday girl, a blue ribbon in her blonde hair, clutches what may be a prayer book or perhaps a wish list, as three candles flicker hopefully on her cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA quintessential slice of postwar American life rendered with The New Yorker's signature wit and warmth, this cover transforms an everyday ritual into something worth framing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5\" x 8.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perry Barlow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, * Please note that this listing is for the cover artwork, and not the magazine as a whole.
