It is hard to escape the legacy of the Punch Magazine. From 1841 to 2002, the magazine cast a satirical eye on life in Britain. It charted the interests, concerns and frustrations of the country and today it stands as an invaluable resource not just as cartoon art and satire, but for social historians.
Vintage illustration from Punch magazine, February 1, 1933, original not a modern reproduction, by Arthur Watts; carefully pulled from the magazine. Condition--excellent, bright, clean, unmarked, lays flat for easy framing; backside with unrelated text with some show-through.

Punch, a magazine of humor and satire, ran from 1841-2002. A very British institution renowned internationally for its wit and irreverence, it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration.
