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.Scotch Keeper "That's a verra fine car you have got." Chauffeur "Oh, it aint' a bad car" S-K "She wad be verra powerfu' car whatever?" "C "Oh, no, I wouldn't say that." S-K "I was not judgin' by the size, I was judgin' by the smell!" [Worse that the smell of horse dung they eventually replaced? The automobile, a novelty to a degree in 1908, was a source of humor for many cartoons in Punch magazine, and to a lesser degree the airplane]Illustration by G.
