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 social historians . This is a vintage cartoon from Punch magazine, by George du Maurier?, published August 19, 1865, vintage not a modern reproduction. THE SEASON OVER. Our artists go to nature, and this is the cheerful state of things at that secluded and delightful place bettws-y-coed, North Wales. [An Artist Colony Location] Cropped as shown in the first image, measures 5 1/4 x 7 inches. Full size: 8 x 10 1/2 including borders.

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.
