Puck Easter
1899
Step into the spring of 1899 with this vibrant cover of Puck magazine, illustrated by Frank Nankivell. A fashionable woman in a sweeping yellow gown and enormous hat poses elegantly, her dress flowing with the curvy lines typical of the Art Nouveau style. She seems oblivious to the chaotic Easter bunnies hopping around the margins while a tiny, winged cupid offers her a hatbox. This piece perfectly captures the whimsical 'Gibson Girl' aesthetic that defined turn-of-the-century American style, blending high fashion with holiday cheer.
