Art Spiegelman, Cover for The New Yorker, September 24, 2001
‘Spiegelman’s cover for the September 24, 2001 issue of The New Yorker was influenced by the black-on-black paintings ofAd Reinhardt. Spiegelman, who lives in Lower Manhattan, later reprised this image for the front cover of his book, In the Shadow of No Towers (Pantheon, 2004), a graphic novel about the 9/11 attacks.’
Saul Steinberg, “View of the World from 9th Avenue”, Cover for The New Yorker, March 29, 1976
‘Steinberg created eighty-five covers and six-hundred forty-two internal drawings and illustrations for the magazine. His most famous work is probably its March 29, 1976, an illustration titled “View of the World from 9th Avenue”, sometimes referred to as “A Parochial New Yorker’s View of the World” or “A New Yorker’s View of the World”, which depicts a map of the world as seen by self-absorbed New Yorkers.’

The Beatles, Abbey Road, 1969
The most famous crosswalk you’ve seen but didn’t think about.
“A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing used in many places around the world. Its distinguishing feature is alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface, from which it derives its name. A zebra crossing typically gives extra rights of way to pedestrians.”
