{"product_id":"new-yorker-cover-copy-44","title":"By the Campfire- The New Yorker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delightful New Yorker cover from August 1957 captures the quintessential mid-century American comedy of the city slicker gone camping. While fellow guests gather around the fire singing cowboy songs with a guitar-strumming wrangler, one bespectacled businessman remains stubbornly immersed in his Wall Street Journal, firelight illuminating his determined focus on stock quotes rather than starlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe watercolor illustration, attributed to Perry Barlow, demonstrates the artist's gift for social observation and gentle satire. The loose, expressive brushwork creates a warm nocturnal atmosphere, with the amber glow of the campfire contrasting beautifully against the deep blue-green of the surrounding forest. A rustic cabin visible in the background and a coffee pot by the fire complete this scene of dude ranch vacation culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA charming example of The New Yorker's signature wit, this cover speaks to the eternal tension between our desire for authentic experiences and our inability to fully leave our urban selves behind. A standout piece for collectors of mid-century magazine illustration or anyone who has ever tried (and failed) to truly unplug on vacation.\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.
