Punch, or The London Charivari was a British weekly magazine of humour and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells. Historically, it was most influential in the 1840s and 1850s, when it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration. Artists at Punch included John Tenniel who, from 1850, was the chief cartoon artist at the magazine for over 50 years. The editors took the anarchic puppet Mr Punch, of Punch and Judy, as their mascot—the character appears in many magazine covers—with the character also an inspiration for the magazine's name.

With its satire of the contemporary, social, and political scene, Punch became a household name in Victorian Britain. Sales of 40,000 copies a week by 1850 rose above 100,000 by 1910.

For buyers outside of Australia:

Multiple purchases can be combined to save on shipping costs.
  1. Purchase, but do not pay for, the items you are interested in. 
  2. Use the "Request total from seller" function at checkout. I will update the invoice with the actual shipping amount for the combined order.
(I’m afraid this is the only way to manage multiple book purchases, as the size and weight and shipping destinations vary so much there isn’t a shipping cost template available on eBay to cover all the variables.)  

If you prefer, you can send me a message stating which items you are interested in purchasing (please include ebay item numbers) and the country you are in, and I will advise the actual postage cost for the lot.
