It was founded by Joseph Keppler, a German-American cartoonist, and was the first successful humor magazine in the country.Puck was known for its political cartoons and satires, which often took aim at corrupt politicians and social issues of the day. It was particularly known for its anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant cartoons, which reflected the prejudices of the time.The magazine was published weekly and featured a mix of cartoons, articles, and humorous illustrations. It was popular among both the general public and political elites, and its success helped to establish the role of satire in American politics and culture.Puck was also notable for being the first magazine to feature the work of female cartoonists, including Nina Allender and Marie Duval.The magazine continued to be published until 1918, when it was merged with Judge magazine to form Judge and Puck. It remained in print until 1924, when it was finally discontinued.Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, 1885 September 16.1885/USA
