Saul Steinberg (June 15, 1914 – May 12, 1999) was a Jewish Romanian-born American cartoonist and illustrator, best known for his work for The New Yorker, most notably View of the World from 9th Avenue. He described himself as "a writer who draws".
Did 85 covers and 642 drawings for The New Yorker. His most famous work is probably its March 29, 1976 cover, an illustration known as "A Parochial New Yorker's View of the World" or "View of the World from 9th Avenue", where he depicted a split map of the world as seen by self-absorbed New Yorkers. The illustration inspired many similar works, including the poster for the film Moscow on the Hudson (1984), which led to a copyright lawsuit.
