{"product_id":"new-yorker-cover-copy-45","title":"Snooze the News- The New Yorker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis New Yorker cover from August 1956 offers a droll observation on the American body politic at rest. A businessman has settled into his living room armchair after work, his feet propped up on an ottoman, sound asleep while his television broadcasts the fervent proceedings of a political convention. The screen shows cheering delegates waving \"I Like Ike\" signs alongside a Utah state placard, capturing the enthusiasm of the Eisenhower era's electoral rituals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe watercolor rendering by Perry Barlow demonstrates the understated wit that made The New Yorker's covers legendary. The warm lamplight, the comfortable mid-century modern furniture, and the peaceful domestic scene contrast perfectly with the animated political spectacle playing to an audience of one. The irony is gentle but unmistakable: democracy in action, watched by a citizenry in slumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors interested in the intersection of American political culture and the golden age of magazine illustration, this cover captures a moment when television was reshaping how Americans experienced their democracy, even if they occasionally nodded off during the proceedings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.25\" x 8.5\"\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.
