I think that a better link (even though it lacks the context) is this new archive (which is mostly good as it lets you quickly see all cover pages) - https://www.newyorker.com/archive

But yeah, without a subscription, this still mostly just leads to walled off pages.

Accessing the actual archived version of every issue at https://archives.newyorker.com/ is truly wonderful as they are fully digitized back to back.
