Entitled "Puck x-mas, 1893" chromolithograph showing Puck sitting on a sofa next to a young woman; they are holding a book labeled "Christmas Carol" and singing. Puck was America's first successful humor magazine of colorful cartoons, caricatures and political satire of the issues of the day. It was published from 1871 until 1918. It was the first magazine to carry illustrated advertising and the first to successfully adopt full-color lithography printing for a weekly publication. In English folklore, Puck is a mischievous nature sprite, demon, or fairy. A Christmas carol is a song whose lyrics are on the theme of Christmas, and which is traditionally sung on Christmas itself or during the surrounding holiday season. Illustrated for Puck and published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, December 6, 1893.
