There are also, of course, the cartoons — I might do a separate post on them at some point; they're such a cultural time capsule! — and the advertisements, catering to upscale readers who like to travel, drink and enjoy other vicarious pleasures.
Anatol Kovarsky, who did the cover illustration for this issue, died in 2016 at age 97. A 2013 piece in The New Yorker mentions that Kovarsky was still imagining and creating art late in life.
Today, though, I wanted to share some of the advertisements from this 57-year-old issue. I think you'll find some of them to be a hoot.
