The music shop is full to the rafters: cellos lean against the walls, a saxophone gleams at the center, sheet music spills from a stand near the piano. Outside the window, the city carries on as usual, taxis and pedestrians moving through a winter afternoon. But just inside the threshold, a small boy in a red jacket has stopped. He is looking up at the saxophone, and the city behind him has ceased to matter. Jean-Jacques Sempé spent decades crafting images like this one for The New Yorker: quiet moments of aspiration and wonder, rendered in his loose, warmly humorous illustration style. This February 5, 1996 cover rewards close attention, and the more time you spend with it, the more the city outside the window reveals itself. A perfect gift for music lovers, New Yorker devotees, and anyone who remembers standing in front of something that made them want to become a little more than they already were. 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Finished Puzzle Size: 19.25"x26.625" Linen Style Finish to reduce glare Made in USA Recommended Age: 13+ Years
