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.This illustration by Bernard Partridge, from PUNCH Magazine. May 9, 1934. Original from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. THE WATCH ON THE RHEINGOLD (May-Day and After)Hitler: "How did that scene of ours go?"Goring: "Not too well--considering the financial position."--The remilitarization of the Rhineland by the German Army began on 7 March 1936 when German military forces entered the Rhineland. This was significant because it violated the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Treaties, marking the first time since the end of World War I that German troops had been in this region. The remilitarization changed the balance of power in Europe from France and its allies towards Germany, making it possible for Germany to pursue a policy of aggression in Western Europe that the demilitarized status of the Rhineland had blocked until then.Full size: 8 x 10 1/2 inches, including borders.
