Hands Up! (Puck Magazine Cover, 1912) – HD Aluminum

Originally published in December 1912 as a cover for Puck — the influential American humor and satire magazine — this striking illustration reimagines Santa Claus with an edge. In a rare twist on traditional holiday iconography, Santa is shown pointing a pistol, delivering a jarring but humorous take on the season of giving. Known for its bold commentary and biting wit, Puck often pushed boundaries in its illustrated covers, and this one is no exception.
Now available as a museum-quality HD aluminum print, this piece is perfect for collectors of historical Americana, vintage illustration, or anyone with a taste for offbeat holiday art.
