AN EMPIRE’S GRIEF

Original 16 1/2 inch x 10 3/4 inch Wood Engraved Cartoon page titled AN EMPIRE’S GRIEF MAY 6TH, 1910 from Punch, May 11, 1910.

Edward VII (1841 – 1910) was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910.

Punch, or The London Charivari, was a British weekly magazine of humour and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells. Historically, it was most influential in the 1840s and 1850s, when it helped to coin the term “cartoon” in its modern sense as a humorous illustration.

The page is in very good condition with a horizontal fold. Reverse side blank.
