Seller's Description
Original 10 3/4 inch x 8 1/8 inch Single-Sided Wood Engraved Cartoon page titled MODERN “BED OF PROCRUSTES” from Punch, September 19, 1891.
In Greek mythology, Procrustes, was a rogue smith and bandit from Attica who attacked people by stretching them or cutting off their legs, so as to force them to fit the size of an iron bed.
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.
