The golden age of flight ushered in America's fascination with all forms of flight and Puck Magazine published their caricatures that beautifully illustrated the Country's awe, fear, fascination and ignorance about the flying machine.
Various artists portrayed all aspects of the age of flight as seen in this collection from Puck Magazine. America was to be forever changed by this new and wondrous machine.
Puck was America's first successful humor magazine known for its sharp humor and colorful cartoon caricatures satirizing the political and social issues of the day.
Puck was the first magazine to carry illustrated advertising and the first to successfully adopt full color lithography printing to a weekly publication.
Puck Magazine was housed from 1887 in the landmark Chicago-style Romanesque Revival Puck Building at Lafayette and Houston Streets, New York City.
The magazine was purchased by William Randolph Hearst in 1917.
The magazine became a fortnightly in 1917 and a monthly in March, 1918. This failed to increase sales and Hearst closed Puck in September, 1918. |
