Now I am going to pose a completely pointless question, as I am wont to do.
Here goes: What would Daniel Rebour have drawn for the New Yorker?
I think I've found the answer:
The man responsible for this drawing, Jean-Jacques Sempe, in fact did a cover for the publication E.B. White made famous:
He was born in Bordeaux in 1932 and is, from what I understand, still active. He is very well-known in France as well as other countries, mainly for the often-whimsical and often romantic, if sentimental (sounds really French, doesn't it?) work for Paris Match. Here in the US, more people have seen his work than know of the man who did it.
Can you imagine Sempe in a room with James Thurber--or Daniel Rebour?
