About the series
A short-lived but visually distinctive series from the dawn of British comics, The Puppet-Show (1848–1849) was published by Vizetelly and ran for just four issues. Known for its sharp satirical illustrations and commentary on mid-19th-century society, the series is most closely associated with the pioneering cartoonist and engraver James Henry Vizetelly. Though brief, it stands as an early example of the comic periodical format, offering a glimpse into the transitional period between political caricature and the modern comic strip.
