EDITORS COMMENTS
The Gobbler's Dream" is a captivating illustration from the November 23, 1904 issue of Puck magazine. In the heart of this whimsical scene, a turkey perches contentedly on a tree branch, eyes closed in blissful slumber. The turkey's dream is depicted as a utopian world where a Vegetarian Pledge is being signed by countless people, representing a mass commitment to abstain from consuming meat. The scene is filled with joy and laughter as wild and domestic animals celebrate this newfound harmony. However, the idyllic dream is starkly contrasted by the harsh reality depicted in the lower right corner. An old man, armed with an axe, approaches the unsuspecting turkey, a chilling reminder of the impending danger that lurks in the real world. This juxtaposition of dream and reality is a poignant commentary on the contrasting ideals and harsh realities of life. This timeless illustration, created over a century ago, continues to resonate with audiences today as it explores themes of hope, idealism, and the harsh realities of the world. The image is a testament to the power of imagination and the enduring appeal of the vegetarian movement, which continues to be a topic of debate and discussion in contemporary society. The illustration, titled "The Gobbler's Dream," was published in Puck magazine on November 23, 1904. It is a cartoon by an unknown artist and is part of the extensive collection of historical images available at Mary Evans Prints Online.
