Puck stands on a stack of bound Puck volumes between a row of people on the left identified as a “Bank President, Cashier, Teller, Clerk, [and] Janitor” as well as a scrub-woman and an office boy, and a row of known criminals on the right identified as “Scott, O. L. Baldwin, F. Ward, J. D. Fish, H. W. Howgate, [and] Eno,” and Fredericka Mandelbaum identified as “M.” Between the two rows are bottles of “Virus from Thieving Office-Boy, Light-Fingered Scrub-Woman, Defaulting Bank Cashier, Receiver of Stolen Goods, [and] Corruptible Janitor,” “Lymph from Swindling Bank President [and] Embezzling Bank Clerk,” and “Vaccine from Speculating Bank Teller.” O. L. Baldwin was a cashier at the Mechanics’ National Bank in Newark, Henry W. Howgate (1834-1901) was a Disbursing Officer in the U. S. Signal Service, and Fredericka Mandelbaum was a known fence for stolen property.
