British 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 : Bernard Partridge (1861-1945 prolific cartoonist and English illustrator; master of the propaganda, this being a good example), from British Punch humor/satire magazine, January 13, 1915, pulled from the magazine, not a modern reproduction. Size 8 x 10 1/2 inches. Condition: excellent, bright and clean, no handling wear, lays flat for easy framing; backside is blank. 

THE FLIGHT THAT FAILED.

The Emperor . "What! No babes, Sirrah?"

The Murderer. "Alas! Sire, none." The Emperor. "Well, then, no babes, no Iron Crosses."

[Exit murderer, discouraged .

The best known German strategic bombing campaign during World War I was the campaign against Britain, although strategic bombing raids were carried out or attempted on other fronts. The main campaign against Britain started in January 1915 using airships. From then until the end of World War I the German Navy and Army Luftstreitkräfte mounted over 50 bombing raids on the United Kingdom. These were generally referred to as "Zeppelin raids": although both Zeppelin and Schütte-Lanz airships were used, the Zeppelin company was much better known and was responsible for producing the majority of the airships used. Weather conditions and night flying conditions made airship navigation and maintaining bombing accuracy difficult. Bombs were often dropped miles off target and accurate targeting of military installations was impossible. The civilian casualties made the Zeppelins an object of hatred, and they were dubbed "baby-killers". With the development of effective defensive measures, the airship raids became increasingly hazardous, and in 1917 the airships were largely replaced by aeroplanes.

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.
