Puck Weihnachten 1908

1908

Step into an Edwardian Christmas with this festive cover from Puck, America's first successful humor magazine. Artist Gordon Grant depicts a classic 'Gibson Girl' scene where a fashionable lady in a pink gown checks her reflection while her maid assists her, holding a sprig of mistletoe that hints at holiday romance. The bold red typography and large holly leaves frame the duo, capturing the elegance and satire that made Puck the New Yorker of its day. These covers were famous for their high-quality color printing, bringing a splash of vibrancy to newsstands over a century ago.

Technique: Color lithograph
