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, but as primary source material for historians.Illustration by Bernard Partridge. Page sized 8 x 10 1/2 inches, shown slightly cropped, pulled from the British humor/satire magazine PUNCH, January 6, 1943, not a modern reproduction. Condition: war-time low-grade paper but in superb condition -- clean, no handling wear, lays flat for easy framing; backside with unrelated text and may have some show through on the facing side (please look closely), as published. DR SISYPHUS. "The ascent is stony and laborious, but it must be mastered as otherwise everything has been in vain and everything is lost." -- From an article by Goebbels. --Goebbels tries to prevent the Stalin rock from crushing him / Nazi struggles with Russia --The Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943) ended one month after this cartoon was published. 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.
