Bankruptcy Mercy Puck Rescued Blue Beard
EDITORS COMMENTS
Rescued? Nothing Doing in the Mercy Line from Bluebeard" is a classic cartoon by the renowned American humorist and illustrator, Puck, published in a late 19th-century issue of a popular magazine. The image depicts Bluebeard, the infamous character from folklore known for his cruelty and multiple wives, standing before a long line of desperate and pleading figures. Each person in the line holds out a hand, imploring Bluebeard for mercy and rescue from their own individual misfortunes. Despite Bluebeard's ominous appearance and reputation, he remains unmoved by their entreaties. His expression is cold and detached as he calmly smokes his pipe, seemingly indifferent to their suffering. The caption above the cartoon reads, "Rescued? Nothing Doing in the Mercy Line from Bluebeard," emphasizing the futility of their attempts to seek help from someone who is notoriously unmerciful. The cartoon serves as a commentary on the human condition and the desire for help and salvation during times of hardship. It also highlights the concept of mercy and the importance of extending compassion and aid to those in need. The image is a poignant reminder that sometimes, even when we most desperately need it, mercy and rescue may not be forthcoming. This print, with its intricate details and rich historical significance, is a must-have for any collection of classic cartoons or illustrations. The timeless message and masterful artistry of "Rescued? Nothing Doing in the Mercy Line from Bluebeard" continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a cherished piece of visual storytelling and a testament to the enduring power of art to provoke thought and inspire reflection.
