"A Selection of Cartoons from Puck" by Joseph Ferdinand Keppler is a collection of political cartoons created between the late 19th century. The compilation showcases the work of Keppler, a leading figure in American satire, who influenced the cartooning style in the U.S. through his German artistic heritage.

It highlights the distinction between cartoonists and caricaturists, outlining how Keppler's approach combined both art forms to critique political figures and societal events. The subsequent pages feature specific examples of Keppler's work, indicating his keen insight into the political climate of his time, starting with an allegorical depiction of the Democratic Party in a politically charged context.
