In honor of Thanksgiving 2011 we feature a 1904 cover illustration from Puck, the humor and satire magazine, which shows a young woman with a shotgun over her left shoulder carrying a dead turkey. Artist Louis M. Glackens captures the intrepid huntress who appears to look at the viewer out of the corner of her eye as if to proclaim, “Yes, I’m perfectly capable of getting my own turkey, thank you very much!” In turn, we’ll simply proclaim “Happy Thanksgiving” to you!

A very fetching image, thanks. The links lead to wonderful images, too, and wonderfully highlight art in Puck that merits wider exposure.
