Richard McCallister, (d.1995), was an "idea man" who worked for the Art Department of The New Yorker, beginning in 1934. His papers include working versions of cartoons in draft form (from ideas supplied by McCallister, and/or with captions subsequently supplied by McCallister) by a number of well-known cartoon artists for The New Yorker. Particularly well represented are Chon Day, Mischa Richter, Robert Day, Perry Barlow, Alain, and Barney Tobey, as well as drawings by McCallister himself. Also included are three original drawings by Peter Arno (one badly torn) and two by George Price. Printed copies of many of the cartoons on which McCallister collaborated are also included, along with his notes of ideas, and manuscript and published versions of his writings
