George Speaight Punch & Judy Collection is a 1885 by R. Taylor, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a holiday scene called *Preparing for Christmas: The Villain of the Piece*. R. Taylor made it in December 1885, just in time for Christmas readers of the Illustrated London News. The image appeared in a special supplement, so it’s tied to holiday traditions and news culture of the 1800s. Want to see more prints like this? Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
