King Chester Arthur's 'Knights of the Round Table' - A Humorous Depiction from Puck Magazine, 1882 This charming cartoon, published in Puck Magazine on February 15, 1882, playfully depicts President Chester Arthur and his cabinet members gathered around a table, each wearing nightcaps, deep in slumber. The peaceful scene is contrasted by the papers scattered across the table, bearing headlines such as "No Ill-Will to Anyone," "We Need No Navy," and "Indians Provided for Till Summer." During Chester Arthur's presidency (1881-1885), the United States faced numerous domestic and international challenges. However, this lighthearted illustration offers a moment of respite from the political tensions of the time. The cartoon, created by the renowned satirical magazine Puck, was known for its witty commentary on current events and political figures. The image is a testament to the power of humor in addressing the complexities of the political landscape. It also highlights the camaraderie and unity among the cabinet members, suggesting that even in the midst of challenges, they could find moments of rest and relaxation together. The use of the 'Knights of the Round Table' motif adds an element of chivalry and nobility to the scene, further emphasizing the idea of unity and cooperation. This cartoon is a unique glimpse into the lighter side of American political history and offers a refreshing perspective on the men who shaped the nation during the late 19th century.
