Description: British 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 historians.Illustrator: Bernard Partridge (1861-1945 prolific cartoonist and English illustrator; master of propaganda), from British Punch humor/satire magazine, February 10, 1915, pulled from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. Size 8 x 10 1/2 inches. Condition: excellent -- bright and clean, no handling wear, lays flat for easy framing; backside is blank. THE NEW CAPITALIST: British Workman: “Come on mate. Here goes for a dollar’s worth of stake in the country. Every little helps.”--Mr. Partridge suggests the laborer is automatically a socialist, hence the "new capitalist" line (Irony). Punch rarely went against the establishment, and never was a great supporter of the working classes. Note "dollar's" usage, perhaps was a generic term for money (and denigrating?).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 ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
