{"value"=>"<p>The printed matter consists of 1942-43 editions of \"The Conflict\" (<em>The New Yorker</em> staff newsletter during World War II), reviews for <em>The New Yorker Album of Drawings, 1925-1975</em>, 1972 and 1974-77 magazine covers from <em>The New Yorker, Harvard Lampoon</em> and <em>Punch</em> spoofs of <em>The New Yorker</em>, and an annotated partial unpublished manuscript by Geraghty for a book about his years at the magazine. The manuscript describes <em>New Yorker</em> editorial meetings, the nature of Geraghty's editing, his relationships with <em>New Yorker</em> editors Harold Ross and William Shawn, and the work of the magazine's more prominent cartoonists. The artists discussed in the manuscript include: Charles Addams, Peter Arno, Perry Barlow, Chon Day, Robert Day, Peter DeVries, Al Frueh, Helen Hokinson, Rea Irvin, Robert Kraus, George Price, Mischa Richter, and William Steig. The folder containing the manuscript also includes correspondence with Simon & Schuster regarding this manuscript, as well as a draft of an introduction for a book about Peter Arno. (A letter from Dodd, Mead annotated by Mrs. Geraghty indicates that the introduction for Arno's book was eventually written by Charles Saxon, another <em>New Yorker</em> cartoonist.).</p>"}
