Cold Happen Proposition Puck Spring
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vignette from a 1907 issue of Puck magazine, the caption invites us to ponder "What may happen at the seashore if summer is as cold a proposition as spring." The illustration playfully depicts a scene where the traditional summertime warmth has given way to a chilly climate, leaving beachgoers bundled up in fur coats and hats, huddled around steam pipes to warm the surf. At the Fizz Fountain, patrons enjoy hot-sauce drinks to ward off the chill, while a couple's romantic proposal is interrupted by a mischievous walrus. The cartoon's whimsical details extend to the resort porch, where guests are happily free of pesky mosquitoes, which die at temperatures of 14 degrees or less, and a guest receives a hot-water bottle delivered to his room. This delightful illustration offers a glimpse into a world where the seasons are not as we know them, and summer's warmth is replaced by a crisp, cold breeze. The cartoon's timeless charm and wit continue to captivate viewers over a century after its creation, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the unpredictability of nature.
