Tapis De Bain Vintage Illustration Puck's Christmas Tree, 1902

Vintage illustration Christmas design featuring Puck's Christmas Tree, 1902. A decorated Christmas tree with some classic Puck characters including the automobile driving scofflaw holding a gift of "Horse Liniment", the domineering servant with her gift of an alarm clock, the housemaid and her gift of "China cement", an Irishman holding a box of "English Soldiers" labeled "For Patrick", and "For Mr. Henpeck" two tickets to the "Theatre - to night Taming of the Shrew" which he is offering to his contemptuous wife. Puck is standing on a step ladder at center, offering a crown "For Miss Gotrox" to a stylishly dressed young woman straining to reach it. Others are receiving equally poignant gifts.
