Comments and Context
Puck‘s cover cartoon on the last day of 1902 observed the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the Qajar rulers of Persia (present-day Iran) and Greece. It was assumed that diplomatic problems had been overcome and ratified by exchange of ambassadors, but in fact the two peoples had amicable relations since the days of Alexander the Great, who conquered Persia but had great admiration for its culture and science.
