Description
Entitled "Puck Christmas 1908" chromolithograph showing a young woman sitting at her dressing table, holding up a mirror to admire her hair, as a maid arranges plant sprigs in her hair. 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. Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ and a widely observed cultural holiday, celebrated on December 25 by billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide, which ends after the twelfth night. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season. Illustrated by Gordon Grant for Puck and published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, December 2, 1908.
