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.

Do you want to show your friends that you, too, can beat the Devil?  Show them, "That's the way to do it" with one of our Punch designs, available exlusively at our online store
