. The
original
illustration
, in
vibrant
color
,
shows
President
Theodore
Roosevelt
(1831-1878)
garbed
in
royal
robes
and
holding
on his
left
shoulder
a
chubby
,
pint-sized
William
Howard
Taft
(1857-1930)
of
Ohio
, his
political
"
heir
apparent.
"
Taft
wears
a
tiny
crown
and a
medallion
emblazoned
with his
last
name
.
According
to the
Library
of
Congress
, the
“throng
in the
background
includes
Charles
W
.
Fairbanks
,
Leslie
M
.
Shaw
,
Thomas
C
.
Platt
, and
Joseph
G
.
Cannon.”
The
artist
,
Udo
J
.
Keppler
(1872-1956)
, was the
son
of
Joseph
Ferdinand
Keppler
(1838-1894)
, an
Austrian-born
cartoonist
who
emigrated
to the
United
States
in
1867
. The
elder
Keppler
and a
partner
,
Adolph
Schwarzmann
,
founded
“Puck
Magazine”
in
1871
as a
German-language
weekly
published
in
St
.
Louis
,
Missouri
. The
magazine
soon
failed
, but in
1876
Keppler
and
Schwarzmann
resurrected
“Puck”
in
New
York
City
as a
German-language
weekly
. A
year
later
they
began
publishing
an
English-language
edition
,
whose
circulation
slowly
increased
until
it
reached
80,000
copies
per
week
by the
1880s
.
Udo
Keppler
, also a
talented
cartoonist
,
joined
the
staff
of
“Puck”
in
1891
,
three
years
before
his
father
died
. In
honor
of his
father
, the
son
changed
his
name
to
Joseph
Keppler
,
Jr
. The
biting
caricatures
in
“Puck”
skewered
many
politicians
,
institutions
, and
social
movements
.
Ulysses
S
.
Grant
,
Rutherford
B
.
Hayes
,
Theodore
Roosevelt
,
Taft
,
James
Blaine
,
Joseph
Pulitzer
,
Pope
Leo
XIII
and the
Catholic
Church
,
Tammany
Hall
, and
woman
suffrage
were
just
a
few
of its
targets
.
Udo
Keppler
became
interested
in
Native
American
causes
and
remained
an
activist
until
his
death
. In
1899
the
Seneca
tribe
made
him an
honorary
chief
.
William
Randolph
Heart
purchased
“Puck”
in
1917
, but his
efforts
to
increase
circulation
failed
.
It
ceased
publication
in
1918
.
