"Life magazine was a popular humor magazine in the 1920s that featured satire, criticism, reviews, and cartoons. It was aimed at an educated, middle-class audience and had a circulation of around 250,000 in 1920. The magazine's content and advertisements often referenced the acids of modernity, and its illustrations were used to address controversial topics of the time. Some of the topics covered in Life during the 1920s include: Flappers, Prohibition, Industrialization and Constitutional Amendments." Rea Irvin (August 26, 1881 – May 28, 1972), was an American graphic artist and cartoonist. Although never formally credited as such, he served de facto as the first art editor of The New Yorker. He created the Eustace Tilley cover portrait and the New Yorker typeface. He first drew Tilley for the cover of the magazine's first issue on February 21, 1925. Tilley appeared annually on the magazine's cover every February until 1994. As one commentator has written, "a truly modern bon vivant, Irvin was also a keen appreciator of the century of his birth. His high regard for both the careful artistry of the past and the gleam of the modern metropolis shines from the very first issue of the magazine. Measures: 8-1/2" W x 10-3/4" H.
