After Ten Years - a 102 year old cartoon from the original by the famous cartoonist and illustrator Sir Bernard Partridge (British 1861-1945). Published by Punch in April 1914 the cartoon (which is attributed within the image) is guaranteed to be original and not a later reproduction.

Punch was a weekly satirical magazine published between the mid 19th and 20th centuries which was also known as the London Charivari. The cartoon celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale. The Entente was a series of agreements signed on 8 April 1904 between Great Britain and France. The signing marked the end of almost a thousand years of intermittent conflict between the two nations and their predecessor states, and the formalisation of the peaceful co-existence that had been in place since the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815.

The text on this cartoon reads:

ENTENTE CORDIALE.

APRIL 1904 - APRIL 1914.

AFTER TEN YEARS.

Clarification of the terms 'original print' and 'signed': 

Punch cartoons were originally drawn on tracing paper and subsequently cut onto a printing plate. An original print is a print made directly from an artist's own woodcut, etching, or other original production, and printed under the artist's supervision. An original print is such irrespective of its intended purpose (high end art to be mounted and framed, or a newspaper illustration). A print taken from a print should not be described as an original print. The process of producing a plate print would, by necessity, mean the destruction of the original piece of art (the drawing). If a non limited edition print is described as signed (or attributed) this will mean that the signature is within the image as part of the print, the print was not signed individually by the artist.
