December 18, 1901: A New Star Rises in the Union - The Next Candidate for Statehood This illustration, published in Puck magazine on December 18, 1901, captures a pivotal moment in American history as Columbia, personification of the United States, bestows the symbol of statehood upon a young, hopeful New Mexico. The scene radiates a sense of anticipation and excitement, as New Mexico stands proudly, poised to join the esteemed ranks of the Union. The turn of the century marked a period of significant growth for the United States, and the admission of new states was a testament to the country's expansion and progress. New Mexico, with its rich cultural heritage and natural resources, had long been a contender for statehood. The illustration, created by an unknown artist for Puck, beautifully encapsulates the spirit of this transformative era. The elegant dress, emblazoned with the label "Statehood," is a powerful symbol of the recognition and acceptance that New Mexico was about to receive. Columbia's confident and approving expression further emphasizes the importance of this moment, as she passes on the mantle of statehood to the young woman representing New Mexico. This image serves as a reminder of the historical significance of statehood and the continuous evolution of the United States. As we reflect on the past, we can appreciate the milestones that have shaped our nation and the promise of a bright future that lies ahead.
