Original, humorous, and satirical articles in verse and prose. DescriptionPunch; or, The London Charivari was a British weekly magazine of humour and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells. Historically, it was most influential in the 1840s and 1850s, when it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration. These are the original first articles published in the 1840s and 1850s.Public Domain
