About this work

This print shows a fancy room where two men in suits argue over a wooden Punch and Judy puppet stage. One man holds a puppet stick while the other points at the stage like he’s telling it off. The scene comes from a real weekly magazine called *The Graphic* that loved printing funny pictures. The artist made sure every button and curtain looked sharp so readers could spot the joke fast. If you like this sharp style, check out prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
