EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Summer Gathering at Oyster Bay: Theodore Roosevelt and the Elements" This illustration, published in Puck magazine on July 10, 1907, depicts a unique summer conference held at Oyster Bay, New York. The scene is graced by the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt, who stands at the podium, engrossed in a passionate speech to an assembly of natural elements and weather phenomena. Surrounding the President are the North, East, West, and South winds, personified as human figures. Each wind is dressed in traditional attire representing their respective directions, adding an enchanting touch to the illustration. The North Wind, with a fur-trimmed coat and icy blue eyes, stands tall and proud, while the South Wind, wearing a sun hat and holding a fan, exudes warmth and vitality. Two ghastly figures, labeled "Low Pressure" and "High Pressure," lurk in the background, their ominous presence hinting at the unpredictability of the weather. The sun and moon, the ultimate regulators of weather patterns, look on from the sky, their celestial influence evident in the gathering. This whimsical illustration not only showcases the playful nature of Puck magazine but also highlights the fascination with meteorology and the personification of natural elements during the early 20th century. The setting at Oyster Bay, a popular summer retreat for the elite, adds to the allure of this scene.
