Saint Valentine number
1911
Frank Nankivell designed this charming cover for the 1911 Valentine's Day issue of *Puck* magazine, capturing the whimsical spirit of the late Art Nouveau era. A woman in a black dress with bright yellow polka dots—resembling a playful bumblebee—juggles glowing red hearts against a dynamic, swirling blue and green background. A basket of apples sits on a pedestal nearby, adding a touch of romance to the scene. *Puck* was renowned for its high-quality color printing, making covers like this a visual treat that helped define the Golden Age of American illustration.
