Description

Puck was America’s first successful humor magazine. It featured comic prose and poetry and lithographed full-color political cartoons by one of its founders, Joseph Keppler, and later by many men and women he trained. It introduced America to a higher class of satire that paved the way for magazines like The Masses and The New Yorker that followed.
