{"product_id":"puck-illustration-38","title":"Athletic Girl \u0026 The Millionaire- Puck Magazine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delightful chromolithograph from Puck magazine captures the social anxieties of the mid-1890s with wit and visual sophistication. Frederick Burr Opper, one of America's most influential cartoonists, presents a six-panel narrative skewering both the athletic 'New Woman' and the gold-digging dynamics of Gilded Age courtship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe athletic girl tries everything: mountain climbing, diving, cycling, canoeing, and fencing, each pursuit rendered with Opper's characteristic energy and humor. Yet the elderly millionaire remains unmoved, ultimately proposing to a demure young woman who 'did nothing athletic at all.' The satire cuts both ways, mocking both female ambition and male preference for passive femininity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of American illustration, women's history, or cycling ephemera, this print embodies the cultural tensions of an era when bicycles and bloomers were reshaping gender expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.0\" x 13.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frederick Burr Opper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44632231313523,"sku":"IL7209","price":56.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/edited_1e9c6d4c-f1f9-4679-a6de-833b38f2673d.jpg?v=1775248239","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/en-nl\/products\/puck-illustration-38","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
