EDITORS COMMENTS
Uncle Sam's International Thanksgiving: A Toast to Competition and Commercial Supremacy, 1901 In this intriguing illustration from a 1901 issue of Puck magazine, Uncle Sam plays host to an unusual Thanksgiving dinner. Seated around the table are the ruling figures of Japan, Italy, France, England, Russia, Germany, and Austria. Each leader is depicted with distinct attributes representing their respective countries. The somber mood is set as Emperor Meiji of Japan gazes intently at the table, Victor Emmanuel III of Italy clutches a laurel wreath, Emile Loubet of France holds a loaf of bread, Edward VII of England brandishes a scepter, Nicholas II of Russia cradles a globe, William II of Germany clenches a fist, and Franz Joseph I of Austria dons a crown. Uncle Sam, with a confident and cheerful expression, raises a glass in a toast to "Commercial Supremacy," as indicated by the label on the large turkey in the center of the table. This gathering symbolizes the growing economic competition among these powerful nations at the turn of the 20th century. The illustration serves as a visual representation of the global economic dynamics and geopolitical tensions that shaped the world during this era.
