Kik-kik-cock-a-doodle-doo! Mr. Kelly, how are YOU?
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lively and humorous caricature, published in Puck magazine on November 12, 1884, was created by the renowned German-American artist and publisher, Joseph Keppler. The image depicts Mayor John Kelly of New York City, who was a prominent figure in the political landscape of the nineteenth century. The caricature shows Mayor Kelly, dressed in a suit and top hat, standing next to a cockerel, or rooster, with the bird's beak forming the exclamation "Kik-kik-cock-a-doodle-doo!" The use of the rooster is a playful reference to the election season, as the cock's crowing is often associated with the dawning of a new day and the start of a new beginning. The color lithograph on newsprint, produced using the lithotint process, is a testament to the artistic skill and innovation of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the figures to life, adding to the overall humor and energy of the image. Mayor Kelly is depicted with a mischievous grin and a confident stance, suggesting his enthusiasm for the political arena. The background is filled with other political figures, including "Honest John" and "Grace William R," adding to the bustling and lively atmosphere of the scene. This caricature is an important historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the political culture and humor of the nineteenth century. It is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be exhibited and studied by scholars and visitors alike. The image remains a fascinating and entertaining representation of the past, showcasing the artistic talent and historical significance of Joseph Keppler and Puck magazine.
