    Description

    'Puck' humor magazine (volume XLIV (volume 44), No. 1125) featuring a cartoon caricature of President William McKinley holding a dirty US Flag while facing mudslinging anthropomorphizations of the New York Times, New York World, and Politics outside of the United States Capital. Written beneath are the words, "Anything for a scandal. The government has done its best for its brave men in the field. In throwing mud at the President they only besmirch the national honor." On the back side there are commentaries and a drawing titled 'The Necessary Apprenticeship'. Circa September 28th, 1898.
