Description: 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 as primary source material for historians.Illustrator: John Tenniel (illustrator of Alice in Wonderland), from British Punch humor/satire magazine, November 24, 1894, pulled from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. Size 8 x 10 1/2 inches. Condition: very good-- light wear, minor foxing, o/w bright and clean, page lays flat for easy framing; backside is blank. Includes an extra page with accompanying poem. "NOBODY LOOKING!" French Wolf (to himself). "AHA! THE SHEEP-DOGS ARE ASLEEP! I SHALL EAT YOU, MY LITTLE DEAR!" "Our freedom of action is complete. There can be no foreign interference."—Speech of M.
