This late Nineteenth Century color print depicts a caricature of a man holding a Mr. Punch puppet. The drawing is based on an original painting of a Punch and Judy Man by Joseph Clayton Clarke (known as “Kyd”). Clarke was an interesting character who was known for his illustrations and somewhat eccentric behavior. He famously worked for "Punch Magazine" for only one day.
This is part of the important George Speaight Punch and Judy Archive at The Victoria & Albert Museum.
