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 (superb illustration, a bold and forceful call for humanitarian intervention)THE CASE FOR INTERVENTION. Bellona. "Why do they hang back when here is my chance to set the whole of Europe ablaze?" --Bellona was an ancient Roman goddess of war. Her main attribute is the military helmet worn on her head; she often holds a sword, spear, or shield, and brandishes a torch or whip as she rides into battle in a four-horse chariot.Size: 8 x 10 1/2 including borders, image shown slightly cropped.
