It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the December 19, 1942 cover of The New Yorker, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions. Gas and tire rationing had begun that year. #bikesky
The cover illustration of the December 19, 1942 New Yorker. A woman, jauntily attired in cat-eye sunglasses, a stocking cap, flowing white scarf and red sweater rides a bicycle towards the observer, a recently-purchased christmas tree balanced on the front basket of her bike. A black scottie dog runs along at her side. Behind her on the road, the rural farm house where she purchased her tree, with a sign for cider for sale and bushels of apple at the front. It is snowing lightly, and there are no cars on the road, and only two figure -- perhaps another woman shopper talking to the tree sales person -- stand in the background. The title, date, and price of the magazine are at the top. The predominant colors are green and red over the gray of the road and off-white snow, with pastels of the farmstead highlighting. The mood is of independence, self-reliance, and stubborn holiday cheer persisting in any circumstance.
