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.Illustration by Bernard Partridge A MIDWINTER NIGHT'S DREAM. Bottom, a trade union delegate, bewitched in Soviet fairyland. --The delegates from the British Trade Union Congress, who recently returned from a visit to Russia, have issued a preliminary report in which they give a glowing account of the Soviet regime.--Nice illustration by Partridge, with or without the historical commentary (includes Russian fairies (Puck) in the background)Page size 8 x 10 1/2 inches, shown slightly cropped.
