N.B. In his forward to an anthology of New Yorker covers, John Updike posed the following question: "Do you have trouble letting go of old copies of The New Yorker?" His answer was simple.

From 1945 until 1961, Edna Eicke painted fifty-one covers for The New Yorker, nearly all depicting scenes of childhood, many inspired by her own upbringing, her life in New York City, and her family. The Riding Lesson appeared as the magazine cover for the June 18, 1949, issue.
