Published as a color lithograph cover for the April 5, 1899 issue of *Puck*, this print appeared three days after Easter Sunday, which fell on April 2 that year. Frank A. Nankwell drew it, and the magazine's publishers, Keppler & Schwarzman, issued it as a full-color cover, a format *Puck* used to make its weekly satirical commentary eye-catching on newsstands. The record's date and caption details are unverified, so the exact subject is best checked against the original issue.
