Hard cover, fair condition. Damage to the spine.
A Century of Punch, edited by R.E. Williams and first published in 1955, is a comprehensive anthology showcasing over 1,000 of the most memorable cartoons from Punch magazine's first hundred years. Spanning from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, this collection captures the wit, satire, and social commentary that defined British humor during that era. The volume includes a 16-page color section and features the magazine’s renowned parody of The New Yorker, offering readers a rich visual history of evolving public attitudes, politics, and everyday life through the lens of cartoon art. With a foreword by Malcolm Muggeridge, the book serves as both a nostalgic tribute and an insightful chronicle of British culture and satire.
