Rare Ww 2 British Cartoon: Breton Onion-man - Nazi Helmets

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 and satire, but as primary source material for historians . Illustrator: E. H. Shepard (famous illustrator of the Pooh books), from British Punch humor/satire magazine, August 16, 1944, pulled from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. Size 8 x 10 1/2 inches. Condition: low-grade war time paper with light toning, otherwise excellent, clean with minor wear; unrelated text on backside with some show-through possible. Lays flat for easy framing. THE BRETON ONION-MAN --The Maquis in Brittany --French resistance --Carries the helmets of killed Nazis, instead of onion. I have other hard-to-find original Punch cartoon illustrations for sale; combine orders with no extra shipping fees. 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 ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
