A satirical cartoon from the German language edition of Puck Magazine, critical of those who are carving up the country for their own benefit. Four targets are identified: William Henry Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Cyrus West Field and Russell Sage. Puck was founded by two immigrants from Austria and Germany and first published in September 1876 in German as "Puck Illustrirte Humoristiches Wochenblatt". Following its success, the English-language Puck appeared first in March 1877. Publication of the German-language version continued until 1897 (Kahn & West 2014, 11, 16).
