This wonderful collection of 2,000 of the best covers the whole history of the magazine, from the wordy, intricately drawn cartoons of the mid-Victorian era, through such classics as the Curate's Egg through two world wars up to the 1990s. The much-missed Punch magazine was often smug, and not always as funny as it thought it was, but it was supreme when it came to cartoons.

The cartoons cover several centuries, and the older cartoons can be surprisingly funny and show that somethings change and others never do. As a coffe table or family book. The Best of Punch Cartoons, 2,000 Humor Classics will keep guests of family laughing everyday for a long time to come. 5 people found this helpful. Wonderful collection of single panel cartoons. A full history of the talented artists of this sorely missed British humor magazine. Excellent companion to the New Yorker cartoon collection The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker Highly recommended.
