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 E.

He is known especially as the illustrator for Wind in the Willows and Winnie-the-Pooh. Punch, a magazine of humor and satire, ran from 1841-2002.
