Print of the Day: Mr. Punch and the Pug, 1890

The Victoria and Albert Museum

This color print by Henry Gillard Glindoni (1852-1917) depicts a man (maybe a Professor) holding a Mr. Punch puppet. As is often the case with people who possess Punch puppets, he is joined by a companion dog (in this case, a pug) dressed in a ruff. As a Punch and Judy man who shares his home with a dog, I can assure you that this is a common occurrence.

This, too, is part of the George Speaight Punch and Judy Archive.
