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 historians.Illustrator: E. H. Shepard (famous illustrator of the Pooh books), from British Punch humor/satire magazine, April 1, 1942 pulled from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. Size 8 x 10 1/2 inches. Condition: excellent, bright and clean, no handling, unrelated text on backside. Lays flat for easy framing.DESIGN FOR 1943: Austerity drives out Extravagance.The sub-title for this illustration appears to miss the obvious -- women (in US and Britain and elsewhere) were joining the workforce during WW 2, with role changes, not just fashion changes. A legacy of sexism (?). 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.
