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.

A SPORTING RISK: Conservative party: "I Hope she's got enough 'intuition' not to let off in my direction."

The question of extended suffrage for women (in whose "intuition" Mr. Baldwin reposes so much confidence) will be raised at the approaching Conference of the Conservative Party.

--In 1918 women 30 years or older could vote in Great Britain. A year after this cartoon appears, the extension of suffrage was reduced to age 21.

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.
