As the influential result of his position as the chief cartoon artist for Punch ( published 1841 – 1992, 1996 – 2002 ), John Tenniel, through satirical, often radical and at times vitriolic images of the world, for five decades was and remained Great Britain ’ s steadfast social witness to the sweeping national changes in that nation ’ s moment of political and social reform.

By 1866 he was " able to command ten to fifteen guineas for the reworking of a single Punch cartoon as a pencil sketch ", alongside his " comfortable " Punch salary " of about £ 800 a year ".

On 27 February 1914, two days after his death, the Daily Graphic recalled Tenniel: " He had an influence on the political feeling of this time which is hardly measurable … While Tenniel was drawing them ( his subjects ), we always looked to the Punch cartoon to crystallize the national and international situation, and the popular feeling about it — and never looked in vain.

Bismarck was discarded (" dropping the pilot " in the words of the famous Punch cartoon ), promoted to the rank of " Colonel-General with the Dignity of Field Marshal " ( so-called because the German Army did not appoint full Field Marshals in peacetime ) and given a new title, Duke of Lauenburg, which he joked would be useful when travelling incognito.

Punch was responsible for the word sense " cartoon " as a comic drawing.

Punch gave several phrases to the English language, including The Crystal Palace, and the " Curate's egg " ( first seen in an 1895 cartoon ).

His son was born in August 1920 and in 1924 Milne produced a collection of children's poems When We Were Very Young, which were illustrated by Punch staff cartoonist E. H. Shepard.

The success of his children's books was to become a source of considerable annoyance to Milne, whose self-avowed aim was to write whatever he pleased and who had, until then, found a ready audience for each change of direction: he had freed pre-war Punch from its ponderous facetiousness ; he had made a considerable reputation as a playwright ( like his idol J. M. Barrie ) on both sides of the Atlantic ; he had produced a witty piece of detective writing in The Red House Mystery ( although this was severely criticised by Raymond Chandler for the implausibility of its plot ).

Shepard was recommended to Milne by another Punch staffer, E. V. Lucas in 1923.

Drafted by a treaty and a bill of sale, and constituted between 1820 and 1858, the Princely State of Kashmir and Jammu ( as it was first called ) combined disparate regions, religions, and ethnicities: to the east, Ladakh was ethnically and culturally Tibetan and its inhabitants practised Buddhism ; to the south, Jammu had a mixed population of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs ; in the heavily populated central Kashmir valley, the population was overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim, however, there was also a small but influential Hindu minority, the Kashmiri brahmins or pandits ; to the northeast, sparsely populated Baltistan had a population ethnically related to Ladakh, but which practised Shi ' a Islam ; to the north, also sparsely populated, Gilgit Agency, was an area of diverse, mostly Shi ' a groups ; and, to the west, Punch was Muslim, but of different ethnicity than the Kashmir valley.

Punch was extremely popular in Paris, and, by the end of the 18th century, he was also playing in Britain's American colonies, where even George Washington bought tickets for a show.

As expressed by Peter Fraser in Punch & Judy ( 1970 ), " the drama developed as a succession of incidents which the audience could join or leave at any time, and much of the show was impromptu.

" This was elaborated by George Speaight in his Punch & Judy: A History ( 1970 ), who explained that the plotline " is like a story compiled in a parlour game of Consequences ... the show should, indeed, not be regarded as a story at all but a succession of encounters.

" The most recent academic work, Punch & Judy: History, Tradition and Meaning by Robert Leach ( 1985 ), makes it clear that " the story is a conceptual entity, not a set text: the means of telling it, therefore, are always variable.

As performed currently in the UK a typical show will start with the arrival of Mr. Punch followed by the introduction of Judy.

Punch's subsequent comic struggle with the crocodile might then leave him in need of a Doctor who will arrive and attempt to treat Punch by walloping him with a stick until Punch turns the tables on him.

Punch may next pause to count his " victims " by laying puppets on the stage only for Joey the Clown to move them about behind his back in order to frustrate him.

It is these set piece encounters or " routines " which are used by performers to construct their own Punch and Judy shows.
