Arthur Getz was an American illustrator best known for his fifty-year career as a cover artist for The New Yorker magazine. Between 1938 and 1988, two hundred and thirteen Getz covers appeared on The New Yorker, making Getz the most prolific New Yorker cover artist of the twentieth century.
Getz was also a fine artist, painted murals for the Works Progress Administration Program, wrote and illustrated children's books, and taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, the University of Connecticut, and the Washington Art Association in Washington, Connecticut.

After serving in the Philippines during World War II as a First Lieutenant of Field Artillery, Getz returned to New York City and resumed his work as an artist, soon becoming one of the more regular contributors to The New Yorker. During the 1950s and 1960s it was not unusual for more than one Getz cover to be printed on The New Yorker during a single month.

Tea time- Peter Newell, illustration for Sunday Magazine “Five o’clock tea” 1905
.
Peter Newell was an American artist and writer. He created picture books and illustrated new editions of many children's books.
Newell grew up on the family farm, but showed little interest in the day-to-day necessities of agriculture. He was reportedly ‘an indifferent milker; a somewhat tentative tosser of hay; and it is said that his ploughing lacked depth.’ What he was passionate about – was art.
Newell built a reputation in the 1880s and 1890s for his humorous drawings and poems, which appeared in Harper's Weekly, Harper's Bazaar, Scribner's Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Judge, and other publications. He later wrote and illustrated several popular children's books, such as Topsys and Turvys (1893), a collection of poems and images which could be viewed upside-down or right-side-up;
In his private life, Newell loved playing tennis and chess. He was a superintendent at a Sunday School, and was also deeply concerned over issues in ‘Public Health’ – becoming a member of the Health Board in New Jersey.
