Entitled: "Puck Christmas 1909" chromolithograph showing a Christmas present box filled with beautiful female faces. 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. One of the main reasons we have the custom of giving and receiving presents at Christmas, is to remind us of the presents given to Jesus by the Wise Men: Frankincense, Gold and Myrr. All over the world, families and friends give presents to each other. Most children around the world believe in a Christmas gift bringer. It's often St. Nicholas, Santa Claus or Father Christmas, but in Germany they believe that it is the Christkind, in Spain they believe it is the Wise Men and in Italy they believe it is an old lady called Befana. Presents are left in shoes, boots and stockings, often left hanging by a fire place and under the Christmas Tree. Illustrated by Gordon Grant for Puck and published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, December 1, 1909.
