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 historians.Illustrator: Bernard Partridge, from British Punch humor/satire magazine, August 6, 1902, pulled from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. Size 8 x 10 1/2 inches. Condition: excellent -- bright and clean, paper lays flat for easy framing; backside is blankBROKERN BARRIERS. Mandarin: "What! No more piece Likin! Allee litee! Plenty other way can catchee dollar chop chip!" --Likin , Chinese (Pinyin) Lijin or (Wade-Giles romanization) Li-chin, special tax paid by merchants and traders in mid-19th-century China. Likin ("a tax of one-thousandth") was levied on goods in transit or as a sales tax in shops where goods were sold. The tax was a constant source of contention with Western trading countries, which resented the petty levies their goods were subjected to in the interior of China because of the likin.--A Chinese provincial tax levied at many inland stations upon imports or articles in transit I have other hard-to-find original Punch cartoon illustrations for sale. Combine orders with no extra shipping fees. Punch, a magazine of humor and satire, ran from 1841-2002. A very British institution renowned internationally for its wit and irreverence, it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions welcome.
