Print of the Day: Mr. Punch Portrayed by Different Hands, 1895

"Mr. Punch Portrayed by Fifteen Different Hands"
First published in "The Sketch," 1895
The George Speaight Punch and Judy Archive
The Victoria & Albert Museum




I could not possibly love this engraving any more than I already do.  It is entitled, “Mr. Punch Portrayed by Different Hands” and it was published by “The Sketch” Magazine in 1895. The print depicts the Punch figures used by fifteen different Punch & Judy Professors of the late Nineteenth Century. 

The artist is unknown.  Today, this is part of the George Speaight Punch and Judy Archive.
