Puck — November 20, 1878 — page 15: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is **primarily advertisements** rather than satirical content. It's page 15 of Puck magazine and features commercial ads for various products and services: champagne, safes, lamps, coffee pots, lottery tickets, government bonds, umbrellas, furniture, and photography services. The only editorial content is a photograph of "Le Moult, the Florist" at top left, showing a man arranging flowers at his establishment (106 Bowery). This appears to be a straightforward business feature rather than satire. The Louisiana State Lottery advertisement is notably prominent, suggesting this was a significant commercial concern in the period. The page reflects late 19th-century New York City commercial life and advertising practices.
