Seller's Description
Original 10 3/4 inch x 8 1/8 inch Single-Sided Wood Engraved Cartoon page titled PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL from Punch, March 28, 1891.
In March 1891, the laying of a cross-Channel subsea cable enabled the first international telephone service between Britain and France.
The image is of Lord Salisbury, in conversation with French president Sadi Carnot.
The cartoon was wood engraved by Joseph Swain (1820 -1909) from an illustration by Sir John Tenniel (1820 - 1914), both were regulars on Punch magazine.
Punch, or The London Charivari, was a British weekly magazine of humour and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells. Historically, it was most influential in the 1840s and 1850s, when it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration.
The page is in very good condition. Reverse side blank.
