Waiting for Their Stars: A Historical Illustration from the Pages of Puck Magazine, 1902 This evocative illustration, titled "Waiting for Their Stars," was published in the July 23, 1902, issue of Puck Magazine. The illustration depicts Columbia, personification of the United States, seated in a regal chair, her flowing gown adorned with stars and stripes. She cradles a new star in her hand, while a pot of stars and sewing materials rests nearby. The scene takes place against the backdrop of the iconic United States Capitol building. To her left, three male figures, embodying the states of New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma, stand attentively, each holding a staff adorned with their respective state seals. Their eager expressions convey their anticipation as they await the addition of their stars to the American flag. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the historical process by which new states were admitted into the Union and their representation recognized in the American flag. The image captures the essence of patience, hope, and the unifying spirit of American democracy. The illustration was created in 1902, a time when the United States was undergoing significant growth and expansion, with several new states joining the Union in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This image from the pages of Puck Magazine offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the symbolic process of statehood and the enduring spirit of unity that defines the American experience.
