{"product_id":"puck-illustration-45","title":"Law vs. The Gospel- Puck Magazine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis biting chromolithograph from Puck magazine captures the clash between religious fervor and civic authority in Gilded Age America. Eugene Zimmerman, the celebrated caricaturist known as 'Zim,' depicts the Salvation Army as a ragged band of wild-eyed zealots confronting deputies armed with arrest warrants for larceny, breach of promise, and drunk and disorderly conduct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene crackles with social tension: the Army's red flags and brass drums meet the law's handcuffs and legal papers on a cobblestone street. Zimmerman's exaggerated physiognomies transform both sides into grotesque archetypes, while readable warrants and signs reward close examination. Even a stray dog flees the impending confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted by Mayer, Merkel \u0026amp; Ottmann for Puck's sophisticated urban readership, this print documents the genuine legal battles the Salvation Army faced upon arriving in America in 1880. A striking example of American satirical illustration at its most pointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.75\" x 13.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eugene Zimmerman\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":44632331288691,"sku":"IL7212","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/edited_1238a05d-d187-4494-9f83-e6d4e93d8323.jpg?v=1775248508","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/products\/puck-illustration-45","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
