The Best of Punch Cartoons

Punch magazine gave us the cartoon as we know it today. For over
160 years from its birth in 1841 Punch's cartoons amused, enlightened
and annoyed its readers. Quintessentially British, Punch cartoons were
famous the world over for their witty observation of the British
character, social commentary and superb artistry. The biggest and best
collection of Punch cartoons ever published, The Best of Punch
Cartoons is packed with magnificent gags and beautiful artwork by
some of the finest cartoonists and illustrators of the past two centuries.
Special features showcase major artists and an array of favourite
themes from The Great Exhibition of 1851 and Early Motoring to The
Space Race, Psychiatry - and Lemmings.
This book includes immortal favourites like George du Maurier's True
Humility (The Curate's Egg), Paul Crum's 'I keep thinking it's Tuesday'
and Birkett's bumbling Daleks alongside H M Bateman's The Man
Who…, The British Character by Pont, Thelwell's ponies, Ronald
Searle's The Rake's Progress and Bud Handelsman's Freaky Fables.
