Puck (American Guilded Age Politics, Business and Culture): Puck holds an important place in the history of American satire. An Austrian, Joseph Keppler (1838-1894), moved to the United States in 1868 and within four years had become a leading artist for Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. In 1876 he became the founder, editor and a leading artist for his own creation, Puck. The periodical was initially meant to be America's answer to England's Punch, but under Keppler's astute editorship it introduced both art and articles of a much more biting nature.
