Puck was America's first successful humor magazine of colorful cartoons, caricatures and political satire of the issues of the day. It was published from 1871 until 1918. It was the first magazine to carry illustrated advertising and the first to successfully adopt full-color lithography printing for a weekly publication. Uncle Sam (initials U.S.) is a common national personification of the American government. He is usually depicted as the elderly man with white hair and a goatee wearing a white top hat with white stars on a blue band, and red and white striped trousers. Columbia is a historical and poetic name used for the United States of America. Columbia was largely displaced as the female symbol of the U.S. by the Statue of Liberty around 1920. The cartoon is alluding to the Treaty of Paris. An agreement made in 1898 that resulted in the Spanish Empire's surrendering control of Cuba and ceding Puerto Rico, parts of the Spanish West Indies, the island of Guam, and the Philippines to the United States. Illustrated by Udo J. Keppler for Puck and published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, December 27, 1899.
