"Puck's Patent Plan for a Tremendous Tower at the Great Fair," Puck (c. 1889)

"Puck's Patent Plan for a Tremendous Tower at the Great Fair," Puck, (c. 1889). The New York Public Library, New York. Reproduced from Liberty: The French-American Statue in Art and History, Perennial Library, 1986, 31. This cartoon humorously suggests a combination Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge to satiate the nineteenth century craze for technological wonders.
