WHO IS THE ARTIST?:Reynolds (1876-1953) was born in London and studied art at Heatherley’s. According to Price (1957), Reynolds only became a frequent contributor after the First World War, ‘and in the Twenties and Thirties he, perhaps, contributed more than any other artist to giving an issue of Punch its character. As Fougasse said in his Obituary Notice, ‘His line possessed a freedom and energy which make us recognise it now as the forerunner of much of the free style drawing of today. He played, in fact, an important part in the transition from the comparatively tight naturalistic drawing of the beginning of the century (a legacy from the old wood engraving) to the freer and more fluid and very much less documented styles that followed.’WHAT IS PUNCH?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. Punch was the world's most celebrated magazine of wit and satire. From its early years as a campaigner for social justice to its transformation into national icon, Punch played a central role in the formation of British identity -- and how the rest of the world saw the British nation. In its formative years Punch combined humors, illustration and political debate with a fresh and radical audacity. During its heyday in the late 1800s, it reflected the conservative views of the growing middle-classes and copies of it could be found in the libraries of diplomats, cabinet ministers and even royalty. In the Western world, Punch played a significant role in the development of satire. In the world of illustration, it practically revolutionized it. Over the decades as it charted the interests, concerns and frustrations of the country and today it stands as an invaluable source of cartoon art, satire, but as primary source material for historians.
