Saul Steinberg's View from New York City

"A View of the World from 9th Avenue (Map)"

"Famous Saul Steinberg New Yorker Magazine cover from 1976 depicts a New Yorker's egocentric view of world geography. Looking west from 9th Ave."

That was the March 29, 1976 New Yorker cover. There's a 1252 × 1691 pixel version of the image on mappery.com. And yes, it's available as a poster.

The Lemming could get very serious at this point about ethnocentrism and other five-dollar words: but even after seeing that cover off and on for decades - I still think it's funny.
