{"product_id":"puck-illustration-48","title":"The Mobile Police- Puck Magazine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis spirited chromolithograph from Puck magazine captures a transformative moment in American history: the dawn of the automobile age and its collision with public safety. Louis Dalrymple, one of Puck's most prolific cartoonists, depicts wealthy motorists gleefully exceeding the 8 mph speed limit while a hapless pedestrian traffic cop can only point and shout. The proposed solution, a \"Policeable\" motor vehicle to chase down speeders, proved remarkably prescient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inset vignette reminds viewers of the recently solved \"bicycle scorcher\" problem, suggesting that motorized police could similarly tame the automobile menace. Dalrymple's characteristic exaggerated style brings humor to a genuine public concern of the era, when unregulated automobiles were a new and frightening presence on American streets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted by the J. Ottmann Lithographic Company, Puck's longtime printer, this piece showcases the exceptional chromolithographic quality that made the magazine famous. A standout piece for collectors of automotive history, Gilded Age illustration, or American political cartooning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.0\" x 13.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Dalrymple\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":44632390238323,"sku":"IL7214","price":108.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/edited_134d023e-341b-4210-8523-e31697c3ab31.jpg?v=1775248678","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/en-nl\/products\/puck-illustration-48","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
