    Description

    'Puck' humor magazine featuring a cartoon caricature of William Randolph Hearst titled "Personal Journalism" with the text "And a number of deluded mortals swallow it". This is surrounded by flattering, ostentatious headlines from his own newspapers to puff up his reputation and character. Humorous anecdotes are written beneath the illustration and on the back is a page long comic titled "The Life of a New York Hotel" showing the three stages of a hotel's life through its era of magnificence, easy-going era, and era of dilapidation. Circa 1911?
