Comments and Context
The figure of Puck, symbol of the eponymous magazine, which was originally a German-language weekly, shows his true colors in this cover cartoon — the red, white, and blue,’ and Germany’s tricolor red, white, and black. Puck stands atop his New York City headquarters, the Puck Building, on the corner of Houston and Mulberry Streets. Prince Heinrich (Henry), grandson of England’s Queen Victoria and brother of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, visited America early in 1902 to congratulate the new president and to pick up his American-built yacht, the Meteor. His handsome good looks and engaging personality won the affection of many Americans as Prince Henry toured many American cities. The cartoonist of the Chicago Tribune drew a popular series, “Prince Henry’s Visit to America,” fanciful but clearly documenting the public’s adulation. The first major State Dinner of the Roosevelt administration was a lavish dinner in Prince Henry’s honor, and young Alice Roosevelt was asked to christen the Meteor — another hit with the public.
