Puck Páscoa 1909 – Psique
1909
Step into spring with this 1909 cover of *Puck* magazine, where illustrator Gordon Grant depicts a woman—likely personifying Psyche, or 'soul'—kneeling by a serene stream. She sports a massive, gravity-defying hat made of pink roses and gazes into the water, where a reflection ripples among the lily pads and irises. Towering white lilies frame the scene in a lush, Art Nouveau style that feels more like a fairy tale than a political magazine. It is a surprisingly gentle, pastoral moment from a publication usually famous for its biting satirical cartoons.
