This was a $.15 Magazine Cover
The artist is Helen Hokinson. She is a member of the 1800 CLUB.
More than 1800 of her illustrations have graced the pages
of New Yorker Magazine.
Sixty-eight of her illustrations appeared on the cover.
My birthday gift to you is two more examples
of Ms. Hokinson's cover art:
According to New Yorker lore,
when crows flew over
Helen's garden, they
laughed so hard
at her scare crow
that none of
the birds
ever disturbed
what grew there.
