A carefully curated anthology drawn from the legendary *Punch* magazine — the iconic British weekly that ran from 1841 to 2002 — this collection brings together the finest cartoons, caricatures, prose pieces, and comic sketches that defined an era of English humour, holding a gleefully distorted mirror up to politics, society, and everyday absurdities.\n\nPick of Punch stands as a testament to a publication that shaped the very language of modern satire, having introduced the world to the word cartoon in its modern sense and launched the careers of countless celebrated writers and illustrators. The anthology's tone is arch, witty, and delightfully wry, capturing the quintessential British art of saying the most devastating things with a polished smile. Published by Hutchinson of Australia, this edition introduced antipodean readers to a tradition of humour both timeless and acutely of its moment — leaving one to wonder just how much the world has really changed since these pages first raised a laugh.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51022570717403,"sku":"2026200018264-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b09eea62-28a6-402a-8219-92f99c1d3a4c.png?v=1793665109","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018264-secondhand-pick-of-punch","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
