Info The magazine Punch, at least in Britain, is widely regarded for its stable of top artists. At the period in question, these included John Tenniel, who did the illustrations for Alice in Wonderland, George Cruikshank, (Illustrations to The Ingoldsby Legends, en:Oliver Twist, etc), and, the creator of this George du Maurier, probably best known for his cartoons themselves, and for writing the illustrated novel that both named the "trilby" (a type of hat), and which inspired The Phantom of the Opera. This is one of the aforementioned cartoons from Punch. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Support Funny and very well done. I love the contrast of the characters and how du Maurier manages proportion. In the overall image, the comparison between the main subject and the delicate lady in the back is great. (and how about more Dore?? ;o) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:21, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Support Very good scan and retouching of a famous cartoon. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:55, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

- People asked for context last time, which they didn't have, and opposed because it was missing. I thought I'd try it with the context they criticised me for not providing. Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:09, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
