Steinberg's
Holiday Magazine Cover, " The North of Jersey " is similar to his
famous New Yorker Cover "View of the World from 9th Avenue”. It
highlights important details while condensing geographic space. The
Staten Island Ferry is chock-a-block with commuters cars, people and
pigeons. While the surrounding waters are filled with bustling boat
traffic. The distant shoreline is dotted with beautiful Victorian houses
and a fairy tail like ferry terminal. It’s all done in Steinberg’s
characteristic quick whimsical style and exudes the vibrant energy of
New York City.

1/8 inch x 6 in horizontal Repair to ink stain in the upper left quadrant
Ink stain in lower quadrant bleed through. Some slight overall
soiling and yellowing to the paper and matt burn on the extreme edges.
Whiteout at the immediate left of the smokestack and Whiteout at center bottom is organic and from the hand of the artist.
This
was assignment art and the whiteout was an editing technique. The
printed version does not show the whiteout because the printer was able
to mask it prior to high contrast printing. - Provenance - Art Director
of Holiday Magazine.
