{"product_id":"new-yorker-cover-34","title":"Show Dog- The New Yorker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis charming New Yorker cover by Helen E. Hokinson captures a quintessential scene from the American social calendar: a well-heeled woman coaxing her reluctant Pekingese around the show ring. Dating from early 1936, the illustration showcases Hokinson's gentle wit and her mastery of depicting the rituals of upper-middle-class life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition brilliantly contrasts the woman's earnest effort with her tiny dog's stubborn resistance. Dressed in a fashionable teal ensemble with fur stole and matching hat, she leans forward hopefully, treat in hand, while judges observe and fellow dog fanciers look on with their own pampered pets. Hokinson's soft watercolor palette and loose, expressive line work bring warmth and humor to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA delightful example of Depression-era magazine art that finds gentle comedy in the pretensions of polite society. A standout piece for collectors of New Yorker covers, American illustration, or anyone who has ever tried to convince a small dog to cooperate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.75\" x 8.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helen E.
