Description:
From the exhibition, With a Wink and a Nod: Cartoonists of the Gilded Age (October 13, 2015 - January 3, 2016). Puck was the first successful humor magazine in the United States of colorful cartoons, caricatures and political satire of the issues of the day. It was published from 1871 until 1918. The weekly magazine was founded by Joseph Keppler in St. Louis; he was both a cartoonist and the publisher. It began publishing English and German language editions in March 1871. Five years later, the German edition of Puck moved to New York City, where the first magazine was published on September 27, 1876. The English language edition soon followed on March 14, 1877. Other Puck Press publications included "Puck's Library" which were periodical collections of the cartoons. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
