DO YOU MIND A CIGAR? 1934 Henry Mayo Bateman PUNCH CARTOON PAGE

Original 10 3/4 inch x 8 1/4 inch Wood Engraved Cartoon page titled DO YOU MIND A CIGAR? from Punch, August 22, 1934.

The cartoon is by Henry Mayo Bateman (1887 - 1970). A British humorous artist and cartoonist. H. M. Bateman was noted for his "The Man Who..." series of cartoons, featuring comically exaggerated reactions to minor and usually upper-class social gaffes, such as "The Man Who Lit His Cigar Before the Royal Toast", "The Man Who Threw a Snowball at St. Moritz" and "The Boy Who Breathed on the Glass at the British Museum." which appeared in the satirical magazine Punch.

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 with a nick at the bottome edge, printed text and another cartoon on the reverse.
