Peering Inside the Pages of Punch Magazine

The Victorian Variety Show

Punch Magazine was a British weekly that played a pivotal role in Western satire for over 150 years. I focus on the development of this publication in the 1840s & its influence during the Victorian Era, & also talk a bit about why I think humor & satire are important. ***** References Cooke, Simon. “Richard Doyle and the front cover of Punch.” https://victorianweb.org/art/design/books/cooke12.html Dictionary.com. “Punchinello.” https://www.dictionary.com/browse/punchinello Dryasdust, Smelfungus. “Treading on the Fairies’ Tales.” Punch, January 18, 1879.
