Rare 1882 BRITISH Political Cartoon - JEWISH POGROMS Russia TSAR ALEXANDER III

Description: A CRY FROM CHRISTENDOM- - England illustrates the outrage of the people to Russia. In the background, Russians are seen murdering Russian Jews in vast numbers. This relates to the atrocities carried out upon the Jewish citizens of Russia in the summer months of 1881. The Times commented that such brutality and inhumanity had led to Russia losing many of her finest citizens and Punch accompanied this cartoon with a long poem condemning such acts of violence. This is an original cartoon from British Punch humor/satire magazine, drawn by John Tenniel published January 28, 1882 and pulled from the magazine; original, not a modern reproduction. Full size: 8 x 10 1/2 inches, including borders. Pictured image is slightly cropped. CONDITION: -- excellent the paper has been humidified and flatted (ready for framing, if desired), minor paper toning, clean; note: backside is blank. COMES WITH AN ADDITIONAL PAGE WITH RELATED TEXT AS WELL 1/2 PAGE ILLUSTRATION BY GEORGE DU MAURIER.Sir John Tenniel (28 February 1820 – 25 February 1914) was an English illustrator, graphic humorist and political cartoonist prominent in the second half of the 19th century. He was knighted for artistic achievements in 1893. Tenniel is remembered mainly as the principal political cartoonist for Punch magazine for over 50 years and for his illustrations to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871).WHAT IS PUNCH? 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. Punch was the world's most celebrated magazine of wit and satire. From its early years as a campaigner for social justice to its transformation into national icon, Punch played a central role in the formation of British identity -- and how the rest of the world saw the British nation. In its formative years Punch combined humors, illustration and political debate with a fresh and radical audacity. During its heyday in the late 1800s, it reflected the conservative views of the growing middle-classes and copies of it could be found in the libraries of diplomats, cabinet ministers and even royalty. In the Western world, Punch played a significant role in the development of satire. In the world of illustration, it practically revolutionized it. Over the decades as it charted the interests, concerns and frustrations of the country and today it stands as an invaluable source of cartoon art, satire, but as primary source material for historians.
