- Marshall G. S. Hodgson, Rethinking World History: Essays on Europe, Islam, and World
History, ed. Edmund Burke III (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1993), p. 4. In
the original appearance of this essay, I had said, mistakenly, that Hodgson invoked the
Steinberg New Yorker cover itself. But he had died by the time it appeared. He seems actu-
ally to have been referring to one of its artistic predecessors (it turns out that the concept
was not original to Steinberg), most probably “A New Yorker’s Idea of the United States
of America” by Daniel K. Wallingford (different versions: 1936, 1937, 1939). See also
“The New Yorker’s Idea of the Map of the United States” (1922) by John T. McCutcheon.
