EDITORS COMMENTS
Easter Puck: A Temptation Scene from a 1913 Humor Magazine This illustration, titled "Easter Puck - the world, the flesh, and two little devils," was published in a humor magazine on March 12, 1913. The image presents a clever and whimsical take on the traditional Easter theme, with an intriguing narrative that explores the age-old struggle between spirituality and temptation. At the center of the scene stands a well-dressed man, his stern expression and clutching of a hymn book suggesting his unwavering commitment to religious observance during the Easter season. However, the two young women flanking him, dressed as mischievous devils, are poised to test his resolve. Their playful grins and seductive poses hint at the allure of the worldly pleasures that may distract him from his spiritual path. The title of the illustration, "Easter Puck," is a reference to the mythological figure Puck, a mischievous sprite from A Midsummer Night's Dream. In this context, Puck represents the temptations and distractions that can hinder one's spiritual growth. The addition of the "world, the flesh, and the devils" phrase further emphasizes the theme of spiritual versus carnal desires. This charming and thought-provoking illustration offers a unique perspective on the Easter holiday, inviting viewers to reflect on the balance between spirituality and temptation in their own lives. The image's enduring appeal, combined with its historical significance, makes it a fascinating addition to any collection of Easter-themed art or illustrations.
