Cartoonist Whitney Darrow, Jr. was part of 'the old guard' at
The New Yorker.
His stint there was among the longest; He was 24 years old when the magazine first published one of his cartoons in 1933.
1,500 + cartoons and several covers later, he retired from The New Yorker's pages in 1982.
His work appeared over the years in many other magazines, in advertisements, in children's books, and in this case, accompanying a piece on the 1964 New York World's Fair that appeared in the July, 1964 issue of Woman's Day.
