For any cartoonist, this is the highest honor. This was also true for Sempé, who had discovered the great American illustrators—from Saul Steinberg to William Steig—in its pages as a teenager. By the time of his death, Sempé had drawn over a hundred covers for *The New Yorker*. And it is no exaggeration to say: Sempé would not be Sempé without *The New Yorker*, and *The New Yorker* would not be *The New Yorker* without Sempé.” (Advertisement by Diogenes Verlag for the German-language edition). - Straight from the publisher. 32.0 × 23.0 cm.
