Bowl of Fruit, Susan Flint 1938 Signed Linocut Illustration for The New Yorker, with Original Editorial Stamped Cardboard football shaped The graphite drawn side isSusan Willard Flint (American, 1902 1984) was best known for her spots as published in the New Yorker of which this bowl of fruit on table black ink linocut is an example, signed and dated 1938 and found still adhered to a sheet of cardboard stamped by The New Yorker Editorial Department. Feels SO classic New Yorker to me, and indeed Flint's illustrations like this one, contributed just a decade into the publication's run, helped to define the look.
