Broadside "SPLENDID AMUSEMENT! STARTLING FEATS OF LEGERDEMAIN!" 8"x18", consisting of "Magic" and "PUNCH & JUDY" and "To conclude with the celebrated NOSE AMPUTATION!" Fine condition. Punch and Judy is a traditional puppet show featuring Mr. Punch and his wife, Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically Mr. Punch and one other character who usually falls victim to Punch's slapstick. It is often associated with traditional British culture. The various episodes of Punch comedy-often provoking shocked laughter-are dominated by the clowning of Mr. Punch.
