En 1976 New York ya se había autoproclamado como la capital del mundo y Saul Steinberg lo hizo sentir con esta portada del New Yorker, ironizando lo poco que sabian los newyorkinos del mundo.
[English readers] The New Yorker cover by Saul Steinberg (March 29, 1976) “View of the World from 9th Avenue,” has come to represent Manhattan’s telescoped interpretation of the country beyond the Hudson River. The cartoon showed the supposedly limited mental geography of Manhattanites.
The image shows Manhattan’s 9th Avenue, 10th Avenue, and the Hudson River (appropriately labeled), while the top half depicts the rest of the world. The rest of the United States is drawn as a square, with a thin brown strip along the Hudson representing New Jersey, the names of five cities (Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, Kansas City, and Chicago) and three states (Texas, Utah, and Nebraska) are scattered among a few rocks for the U.S. beyond New Jersey. The Pacific Ocean, perhaps half as wide again as the Hudson, separates the U.S. from three flattened land masses labeled China, Japan, and Russia.
Thank you Katti!
