Cartoons from Punch magazine by Edward Tennyson Reed (E T Reed).
Another unique voice in the cartooning ranks of Punch, Reed's playfulness, and wide scope of style and subjects is a joy to behold. His cartoons tap into the social world of Advertising, Law, Literature, History and Politics and both his Unrecorded History and Prehistoric Peeps series are excellent.
