Punch Magazine Caricatures

from the golden era of Horse and Hound

A collection of exquisitely hand-coloured caricatures from original publications of Punch Magazine, published from the 1870's to the 1930s. All prints are, therefore, over 70 years old.

All these caricatures are hand-coloured by Jolanda van Belzen in her atelier in Germany, using fine water-colour paints from Windsor & Newton.

The reproductions on this page are scans made of the prints after they were coloured. They are available for purchase and are sold mounted with Crescent conservation quality mountboards. Please email for details.
