Louis Dalrymple was one of the most prolific political cartoonists of the Gilded Age, contributing to Puck magazine from the 1880s through the early 1900s. Puck was the dominant American satirical publication of its era, and Dalrymple's full-color lithographed covers gave its sharpest commentary its most visible form, targeting politicians, labor movements, and the machinery of American democracy. The period originals here come from that tradition of illustrated political satire at its peak.
