Description: British Punch magazine -- from 1841 to 2002, the magazine cast a satirical eye on life in Britain.

Condition: very good -very light foxing, o/w bright and clean, no handling wear, page lays flat for easy framing; backside has unrelated text with some show-through on the facing side (please look closely) as published.PRESIDENT MCKINLEY AND THE JINGO BIRD [American Eagle]--This political cartoon depicts President William McKinley, who does not want to wage war in Cuba after the sinking of the USS Maine, being bothered by "jingo gnats." The gnats represent jingoism, or yellow journalism, failing in their attempt to sway him into a pro-war direction. A jingo is a term used to describe a very vocal supporter of policy favoring war, especially in the name of patriotism. --From the beginning of his administration, President McKinley was concerned about the Cuban insurrection. On February 15, 1898, the USS Maine was sunk on an official visit to Havana. President McKinley attempted to prevent war and endeavored to persuade the Spanish government to adopt a conciliatory policy with the Cuban insurrectionists. The Spanish government yielded too late to restrain the popular demand in the United States for intervention. On April 20, Congress adopted a resolution declaring war against Spain. A peace protocol ended hostilities on August 12, 1898.I have other hard-to-find original Punch cartoon illustrations for sale; combine orders with no extra shipping fees. Punch , a magazine of humor and satire, ran from 1841-2002. A very British institution renowned internationally for its wit and irreverence, it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration. QUESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME
