With one-hundred and forty-eight volumes bound in seventy-four.Volumes CVI to CXLVII are bound by Bickers.'Punch' was a popular satirical weekly magazine, published from 1841 to 1992, first established by Henry Mayhew and Ebenezer Landells. It helped to coin and demonstrated the earliest examples of 'cartoon', in the modern sense of a humorous illustration. Several notable artists contributed to Punch such as John Leech, Richard Doyle, John Tenniel and Charles Keene. The first editor, Lemon, was a close friend with Charles Dickens and although Dickens never contributed to Punch, allusions to him were often printed and illustrations from Dickens' novels were reprinted with well-known political figures substituted for Dickens' characters. For example, in the 1851 volume of this set there is an allusion to Dickens' Oliver Twist and the character Fagin.The tongue in cheek commentary in which the contributors to Punch discuss the pressing issues of their era provide a unique look at history, in particular of the build up to and first few months of World War.This is an important run, containing the very first issues of the magazine, as well as the issues regarding the deaths of Queen Victoria and Edward VI, the sinking of the Titanic, the Great Exhibition, the Irish question, and more.Illustrated with humorous illustrations and cartoons throughout all volumes.This set contains:Volumes I and II, for 1841Volumes III and IV, for 1842Volumes V and VI, for 1843Volumes VII and VIII for 1844 and 45Volumes VIII and IX, for 1845Volumes X and XI, for 1846Volumes XII and XIII, for 1847Volumes XIV and XV, for 1848Volume XVI and XVII, for 1849Volumes XVIII and XIX, for 1850Volumes XX and XXI, for 1851Volumes XXII and XXIII, for 1852Volumes XXIV and XXV, for 1853Volumes XXVI and XXVII, for 1854Volumes XXVIII and XXIX, for 1855Volumes XXX and XXXI, for 1856Volumes XXXII and XXXIII, for 1857Volumes XXXIV and XXXV, for 1858Volumes XXXVI and XXXVII, for 1859Volumes XXXVIII and XXXIX, for 1860Volumes XL and XLI, for 1861Volumes XLII and XLIII, for 1862Volumes XLIV and XLV, for 1863Volumes XLVI and XLVII, for 1864Volumes XLVIII and XLIX, for 1865Volumes L and LI, for 1866Volumes LII and LIII, for 1867Volumes LIV and LV, for 1868Volumes LVI and LVII, for 1869Volumes LVIII and LIX, for 1870Volumes LX and LXI, for 1871Volumes LXII and LXIII, for 1872Volumes LXIV and LXV, for 1873Volumes LXVI and LXVII, for 1874Volumes LXVIII and LXIX, for 1875Volumes LXX and LXXI, for 1876Volumes LXXII and LXXIII, for 1877Volumes LXXIV and LXXV, for 1878Volumes LXXVI and LXXVII, for 1879Volumes LXXVIII and LXXXIX, for 1880Volumes LXXX and LXXXI, for 1881Volumes LXXXII and LXXXIII, for 1882Volumes LXXXIV and LXXXV, for 1883Volumes LXXXVI and LXXXVII, for 1884Volumes LXXXVIII and LXXXIX, for 1885Volumes XC and XCI, for 1886Volumes XCII and XCIII,for 1887Volumes XCIV and XV, for 1888Volume XCVI and XCVII, for 1889Volumes XCVIII and XCIX, for 1890Volumes C and CI, for 1891Volumes CII and CIII, for 1892Volumes CIV and CV, for 1893Volumes CVI and CVII, for 1894Volumes CVIII and CIX, for 1895Volume CX and CXI, for 1896Volumes CXII and CXIII, for 1897Volumes CXIV and CXV, for 1898Volumes CXVI and CXVII, for 1899Volumes CXVIII and CXIX, for 1900Volumes CXX and CXXI, for 1901Volumes CXXII and CXXIII, for 1902Volumes CXXIV and CXXV, for 1903Volumes CXXVI and CXXVII, for 1904Volumes CXXVIII and CXXIX, for 1905Volumes CXXX and CXXXI, for 1906Volumes CXXXII and CXXXIII, for 1907Volumes CXXXIV and CXXXV, for 1908Volumes CXXXVI and CXXXVII, for 1909Volumes CXXXVIII and CXXXIX, for 1910Volumes CXL and CXLI, for 1911Volumes CXLII and CXLIII, for 1912Volumes CXLIV and CXLV, for 1913Volumes CXLVI and CXLVII, for 1914 CONDITION Volumes for 1841 to 1844 are in a half calf binding with marbled paper to the boards.
