Weekend #PONT from 9 March 1938: "SIR THOMAS AND LADY PARTINGDALE, LORD CHUDLEIGH AND THE BISHOP OF HOPTON."
Today's PUNCH Cartoon Classic. Opinion polls are coming thick and fast! “If there were a political opinion poll tomorrow, which party would you say you’d vote for?” Tony Holland 1969 #politics #elections #polling #voters #voting
I've been reminded of the cartoonist Ian Fenwick, who did very stylish covers for P G Wodehouse in the late 1930s. Rather taken by this study of "Firewatching" made about 1941: armoury.co.uk/products/firew…
I'm sure #PostboxSaturday fans will correctly spot where this famous postbox can be found? Or at least it will give them something to talk about 😉
👀 First look at Bloomin’ Brilliant: The Life and Work of Raymond Briggs. Our touring #exhibition has arrived in East Sussex and is now open at #Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft. 🔗 tinyurl.com/489tn5pa What's your favourite #RaymondBriggs work? 📸 © Rosie Powell

We love Fougasse's #WW2 posters, too, most famously the 'Careless Talks Costs Lives' campaign! As well as being an ace cartoonist, he was PUNCH's art editor and later became its editor. #WWII #HomeFront #rumours #information #war

Today's PUNCH Cartoon Classic. Universities, eh? Remember the Cold War? “The trustees understand the curriculum requires you to teach Marxism. We just feel that you’re not making it boring enough.” Bud Handelsman 1965 #university #education #teaching #professors #pressure
Just visited this splendid show; highly recommend you get there if you can. Laugh-out-loud goodness from many of our our greatest cartoonists. All things considered, we could all use some laughs. Galleries Maison Bertaux, 28 Greek Street. Oh and splendid food.
The oldest known photograph of London - Whitehall from where Trafalgar Square would later be built, taken in 1839 by M. de St. Croix. Charles Dickens was only 27 when this photo was taken.
Illustration by the great PUNCH cartoonist William Sillince!
A great night at Maison Bertaux for the PV of a truly great exhibition. Get down there. It really is worth it. And buy, buy, buy

Here's a little more support for the idea that we knew everything we needed to know about engaging visual communication by the middle of the last century. And it's still funny, too. Hitler in a baroque wig— why not?

I have to say, I love these posters. Very retro. I'm very much reminded of the Punch cartoonist and wartime propagandist Fougasse's rules for messaging. Simple, bright, to the point, and instantly understandable but not overbearing.
Labour will switch on Great British Energy — clean power built by Britain, owned by Britain, to cut bills and rebuild our industrial strength ⚡🇬🇧 We'll quadruple offshore wind, create thousands of good manufacturing jobs, and give us energy independence from foreign dictators.
