Two very different takes on December, shoulder to shoulder on a New York City street. The holidays, as they were always meant to be celebrated.
It is a December afternoon somewhere in the city, and the season is in full swing: Christmas trees line the sidewalk, a menorah glows in a shop window, and a "Happy Hanukkah" banner stretches just overhead. Santa Claus and a gentleman in a tall black hat are walking side by side, each going about their seasonal business with great purpose. The city, as ever, makes room for everyone.
Art Spiegelman created this cover for The New Yorker's December 18, 2000 issue. Known for his bold, graphic illustration style and gift for wit, Spiegelman turns a simple sidewalk encounter into a warm and quietly funny meditation on how New York City has always held its many holidays at once.
This 300-piece puzzle is the perfect gift for anyone who celebrates both, either, or simply appreciates a city where December has always belonged to everyone.
Random cut pieces, finished puzzle size measures 18 x 24 inches and is recommended for ages 10 and up. Made in the USA and features a linen-style finish to reduce glare.
The covers of The New Yorker have entertained and enlightened the magazine's readers for nearly a century. With unmatched visual sophistication and wit, they let no subject escape their scrutiny. A roster of extraordinary artists continues to create indelible images that are infinitely varied in style and tone, whether whimsical, provocative, serene, or laugh-out-loud funny.
