A questionnaire by Charles Green Shaw to determine who was a real New Yorker, ca. 1926. Not one of these questions could be asked today.
Shaw was a painter, poet, writer, and illustrator. At the time he wrote this, he was a prominent writer for The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. He turned to art in 1932.
