All our pictures

The head of a cat emerges, giving the impression that it is about to take over the entire space. Through this artistic choice, Ana Juan, a Spanish illustrator and regular contributor to The New Yorker, expresses her deep affection for felines.

By placing this animal on the cover of the May 23, 2022, issue, she presents it as the rightful heir to a sovereign, thus suggesting that it deserves respect and admiration. This is an implicit invitation to reflect: what if, in the end, it was not the cat that was tolerated in our world, but rather we humans who were merely allowed in its kingdom?
