Punch Magazine Reborn Online
The Internet continues to breath new life into dying print publications. The classic British satirical magazine Punch, which closed down earlier this year after 161 years, has been reborn online. In addition to an archive of articles and cartoons from the magazine's history, the site features new book, film and restaurant reviews. And its loyal aficionados can even continue discussing the magazine's humor and swapping vintage issues in site's Collectors' Club section. Punch hopes to make money by selling high-quality copies of the magazine's cartoons and licensing them. The new online magazine can be seen at punch.co.uk.Dec 11, 2003 | E-MAIL | SAVE | PRINT

I have issues April 7th - Sept 22 1943 inclusive. Any idea as to how much the collection would be worth.
Many thanks,
Clare.

My father's uncle's father's father collected Punch magazine from Volume the First (1840's) and we have them up to the 1980s. The collection is vast and in excellent condition. Are there any collectors out there who might be interested?

My great grandfather William Coulson Parkinson was a member of a committee known as The Ways and Means Committee. Which basically was a 'morals promoting' committee. He heard that naked ladies were performing on stage in a London Theatre. Disgusted he went to investigate and sat at the back of the theatre to watch the performance. Thus confirming that sure enough naked ladies were performing on stage. He started complaint process and the Punch Magazine heard about it all. However he can't have been watching very closely as the naked ladies turned out to be only puppets. Punch published a cartoon of him dreaming about naked ladies while watching a puppet show in one of their issues. I was hoping someone may still have that issue and be able to photocopy the cartoon for out family records.
Here's hoping !!

In addition to the above posting!
This issue I am searching for would have been around the year 1917

I've been researching Alice in Wonderland cartoons by leafing through imy Punch collection and have not come across the one mentioned above, sorry. My fairly complete collection (1841 - 1944 or so) cost about $2000 a few years ago.

Does anyone have any idea what happened to the originals of the many wonderful cartoons Punch published? So many great cartoonists, so much great work. Where is it now?

Reference Liz's entry 1oth March 2007, I too would be interested in a copy of this cartoon. I suspect though it is likely to have been nearer 1907 than 1917.

I have just inherited from my mother & father the complete, bound set of Punch from 1912-1945. This is very exciting as the books are in very good condition, and the contents within is absolutely amazing.
I wonder what value they have, in monetary value that is

To find out what your punch collection is worth, you can always try ebay.Search through the current listings then look at the completed sales.
You chould be able to figure out a value based on these figures but this could be a 'low' market value.
Some volumes or illustrations can be worth more depending on year and subject. A quick search on google will tell you about what to look out for:-)
You can always try contacting 'dealers', I am always looking for collections large all small.

I Have a rather worn looking, hard brown cover 1868 PUNCH magazine. Engraved on the side is
2
PUNCH
1868
Also on the first page is a signature that I can only identify so far as A.G .........?
I'm curious what it is worth?
Thanks

I would love to track down some of the (readers?) poems from Punch around the 70's. One in particular contains the lines;
Motorist in the crawling queue
distracted by the whirring rotor
Looked up to get a better view
And rammed of course another motor!
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm looking for the complete words to a satirical version of Lili Marlene published in Punch in the late 1950s or, perhaps, early 1960s. It contains the lines:
As they lift the seidel what is it they sing,
Manstein and Speidel and Marshal Kesselring?
The Aprika Corps will watch with care
The boys who in the Bundeswehr
Will sing Lili Marlene
That old Lili Marlene
It also contyains the fragment:
Britsih and Germans join as one
With Fraulein Lale Anderson
To sing Lili Marlene
That old Lili Marlene
