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 for social historians.Illustration by L. Raven-hill. Original, disbound from British Punch humor/satire magazine, not a modern reproduction. Full size: 8 x 10 1/2 inches, including margins. Condition: excellent -- bright and clean, no handling wear, page lays flat for easy framing; backside is blank.(Published January 7, 1920). SOUNDING THE "ALL CLEAR." With grateful compliments to the gallant volunteers of the British Mine Clearance Force.--Postwar Mine-clearing. At the end of the war, Britain was one of 26 countries represented on an International Mine Clearance Committee dedicated to clearing 40,000 square miles of sea of leftover mines. Several hundred thousand mines had been laid during the conflict by both sides. Each power was allotted an area to clear. The Mine Clearance Service was formed in 1919 and worked to clear Britain’s allocated area until it was disbanded the following year.I have other hard-to-find original Punch cartoon illustrations for sale. Combine orders with no extra shipping fees. 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.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions welcome.
