    I got this book over 8yrs ago from an Estate Sale in the area
    Punch's Almanack For 1863 was a bi-yearly British Satire and humor collection, of a weekly magazine, that was first issued in 1841 with the last in 2002. The puppet "Punch" of "Punch and Judy", as a mascot.
    I've posted a link to Wikipedia:

    This is, the Jan-June 1863 issue. It's got a lot of foxing(the brown or yellow spots on the pages) other than that it's in good condition! :^)

      Punch, or The London Charivari was a British weekly magazine of humour and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and engraver Ebenezer Landells. Historically, it was most influential in the 1840s and 1850s, when it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration.

      After the 1940s, when its circulation peaked, it went into a long decline, closing in 1992. It was revived in 1996, but closed again in 2002

      If you copy and paste the link in my description, to a Google search it should bring you to the Wikipedia page. I cant get it to work otherwise. :^)

      Thank you for the love, TimeTraveller! :^) Some of the comics in this old book are very anti-American! Still mad about the Revolutionary War I guess! :^) but it is humorous satire, so...
