Cartoons : Selected from the pages of "Punch"
A 1901 London collection of John Tenniel's political cartoons reprinted from Punch, gathering decades of his weekly full-page commentary on British and world politics for a general readership. The wood-engraved plates use dense parallel hatching and firm outline to stage allegorical figures — Britannia, helmeted warriors, cloaked spectres, shabby tramps — in shallow theatrical scenes, offering designers strong silhouettes, drapery studies and ready-made emblematic personifications.
