About this work

This print shows a seaside puppet show from 1900. The artist used simple ink lines to capture the moment. It’s titled after George Speaight’s later collection of Punch & Judy puppets. The image ran in The Sphere magazine on June 30th, 1900. It’s a quick sketch of a seaside performance, not a finished painting. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
