About this work

This print shows a Punch & Judy show from 1864. You can see a street scene with a puppet booth and crowd. It’s an old engraving, so the lines are crisp and clear. The print comes from the George Speaight Punch & Judy Collection. That means it’s part of a big set of puppet show records. Look close—it’s titled *All alone in Ramsgate* inside the image.
