Cartoons
by Sir John Tenniel
Selected from the Pages of "PUNCH."
LONDON: "PUNCH" OFFICE, 10, BOUVERIE STREET.
BRADBURY, AGNEW & CO., LTD., PRINTERS, LONDON AND TONBRIDGE.
Prefatory Note.
The present collection of Sir John Tenniel's Cartoons is intended to be a selection comprising the more memorable of those which have appeared in "Punch" during the last 50 years. The first in the collection bears the date of 1851, and the last is Sir John Tenniel's final Cartoon in January, 1901. Short explanatory notes have been provided, but as most of them will, perhaps, be unnecessary to those to whom the Cartoons themselves are familiar, they have been grouped together and combined with the Table of Contents at the commencement of the volume, where they can readily be referred to.
