Puck Christmas Number — Frank A. Nankivell, 1900

Puck Christmas Number is a festive 1900 magazine cover by Frank A. Nankivell. An elegantly dressed woman carries an evergreen tree through a snowy winter landscape while the small figure of Puck swings an axe near its trunk. The playful scene combines Christmas tradition with the visual humor associated with the celebrated American magazine.

A sweeping red coat dominates the composition against deep evergreen, black, cream, and muted winter blue. Large Puck lettering crosses the tree, while the decorative Christmas Number title anchors the bottom of the image. Published in December 1900, the artwork brings together period fashion, seasonal imagery, expressive illustration, and bold turn-of-the-century graphic design.
