http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52577082

This collection contains a number of political cartoons, including a cartoon published by Puck, titled, "Solid on the Hog Question," referring to a trichinosis scare and its impact on exports. Inspired by the British literary magazine Punch, the American humor magazine Puck was founded as a German language periodical in St. Louis in 1871 by its chief cartoonist, Joseph Keppler. In 1877 it became an English language magazine and continued until 1918. The collection also contains two cartoons by Ding Darling, a prominent editorial cartoonist for the Des Moines Register. One is of Teddy Roosevelt, and the other is "Ding's Farewell."
