What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising page** from Puck magazine (September 1877), with one notable illustration at top left. The main cartoon shows "Le Moult, the Florist" — a figure in period dress holding flowers in what appears to be a darkened interior. The caption indicates this is about a "New and Suitable Funeral Design," suggesting satirical commentary on commercialized funeral practices and florists' marketing of death-related services. The remainder of the page contains period advertisements for furniture, champagne, tailoring, photography, and other goods typical of 1870s New York commerce. Notable ads include Thonet bent-wood furniture, Herring's safes, and Puck's own 1878 Almanac (priced 15 cents). The satirical focus appears narrow, concentrated on the single funeral-design cartoon.
