Evidently Newly Wed
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous cartoon published in Puck magazine on May 22, 1901. The illustration depicts a housewife standing in her kitchen, looking perplexed as she counts the dishes piled in the sink and notices a shortage of plates. With a concerned expression, she turns to the cook, who is casually chopping vegetables at the counter, and inquires, "What have you done with the missing plates?" The cook, seemingly unfazed by the question, responds nonchalantly, "Oh, I don't rightly know, madam. I reckon they got left behind at the hotel." The housewife's face contorts into a mixture of frustration and disbelief as she realizes that her husband, who is depicted in the background, has likely forgotten to pack the plates during their recent wedding trip. This cartoon is a classic example of the satirical and humorous content that was popular in Puck magazine during the early 1900s. The image pokes fun at the common mishaps and misunderstandings that can occur in married life, particularly during the honeymoon period. The use of exaggerated expressions and body language adds to the comedic effect, making this a beloved piece of early 20th century American pop culture. The intricate detail in the illustration, from the textures of the tablecloth and the cook's apron to the individual strands of the housewife's hair, showcases the skill and artistry of the illustrator. This print is a charming and entertaining glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and relationships of the time. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its timeless humor, "Evidently Newly Wed" is a must-have for any collection of vintage illustrations or early 20th century Americana.
