A collection of issues of Punch, a British weekly magazine dedicated to satire and humor. Printed in London, it was continuously in circulation from 1841 to 1992, with peaks in the 1840s to 1850s, along with the 1940s. John Tenniel (1820-1914) served as the principal political cartoonist for over 50 years, and the magazine developed the word cartoon, having been used to describe their illustrations since around 1843. An interesting look at British politics and humor in the later Victorian period. FORN-ABE-MSB-0324-Shelf-677-aj0387
