Easter
1900
Imagine saying goodbye to diet season with a bang—that's the vibe of this 1900 *Puck* magazine cover by Frank Nankivell. A flirty woman in a black lace corset empties a cone labeled 'Lent,' spilling out Easter eggs and a little red devil to signal the end of fasting and the start of fun. Down at the bottom, a cherub is busy wrestling a giant Easter bunny next to the bold 'PUCK' lettering. It’s a perfect example of Art Nouveau illustration, mixing religious holidays with a cheeky, secular party attitude.
