December 25, 1907: Same Old Presents for Miss Democracy In this intriguing illustration from Puck magazine, published on Christmas Day in 1907, Miss Democracy is seen waking up with a start, surrounded by an unexpected surprise. Her bedroom is filled with presents, but it's not the usual assortment of gifts one might expect. Each present bears the familiar countenance of William Jennings Bryan, the renowned politician and three-time presidential nominee. From the ornaments on the Christmas tree to the face on the grandfather clock, the handle of an umbrella, and even the inside of the horn on a gramophone, Bryan's image is omnipresent. The room is adorned with Bryan portraits, busts, pillows, and dolls, and a copy of "Bryanecdotes" lies prominently on the bedside table. Miss Democracy's expression suggests that she's both amused and somewhat taken aback by this unusual display. It seems that even on this most joyous of holidays, the political landscape of the time couldn't be escaped, not even in the comfort of one's own home. This charming and humorous illustration offers a glimpse into the political climate of the early 20th century, where the influence of public figures extended even to the most private of spaces. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of politics and the role it plays in shaping our daily lives, even during the most festive of seasons.
