Description: It is hard to escape the legacy of the Punch Magazine. From 1841 to 2002, the magazine cast a satirical eye on life in Britain. It charted the interests, concerns and frustrations of the country and today it stands as an invaluable resource not just as cartoon art and satire, but as primary source material for social historians.Illustration by Bernard Partridge (although unsigned), and published in Punch on April 4, 1923. Original, pulled from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. Full size: 8 x 10 1/2 inches, including borders. Pictured image is slightly cropped. Condition: a fresh copy, bright and clean, lays flat with unrelated text on the backside. WHERE EAST AND WEST ARE ONE--Britannica (symbol of GB) comforts a young Japanese woman--The Great Kanto earthquake struck the Kanto Plain on the Japanese main island of Honshu at Saturday, September 1, 1923. This earthquake devastated Tokyo, the port city of Yokohama, and the surrounding prefectures of Chiba, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka, and caused widespread damage throughout the Kanto region. Estimated casualties totaled about 142,800 deaths, including about 40,000 who went missing and were presumed dead.I have other hard-to-find original Punch cartoon illustrations for sale.
