1908réf. 007074London: Punch 1908. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L. Stiles author of Churchill in Punch Unicorn Publishing Group 2022. His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "THE CABINET CHERUBS appeared thus on p.134 of the 22 April 1908 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "After Reynolds". The cartoon depicts the young members of the new Asquith Cabinet - the first of many Cabinets to which Churchill would be appointed. The image is modeled after Joshua Reynolds's painting "A Cherub Head in Different Views" currently at the Tate Britain Acc. No. N00182. The figures are clockwise from lower left Reginald McKenna Winston Churchill Lloyd George Viscount Morley and Sir Edward Grey. Punch or The London Charivari began featuring Churchill cartoons in 1900 when his political career was just beginning. That political career would last two thirds of a century see him occupy Cabinet office during each of the first six decades of the twentieth century carry him twice to the premiership and further still into the annals of history as a preeminent statesman. And throughout that time Punch satirized Churchill in cartoons more than 600 of them the work of more than 50 different artists. It was a near-perfect relationship between satirists and subject. That Churchill was distinctive in both persona and physical appearance helped make him easy to caricature. To his persona and appearance he added myriad additional satirical temptations not just props like his cigars siren suits V-sign and hats but also a variety of ancillary avocations and vocations like polo painting brick-laying and writing. All these were skewered as well. Some Punch cartoons were laudatory some critical and many humorous like the man himself. Nearly always Churchill was distinctly recognizable a larger-than-life character whose presence caricature served only to magnify. Punch unknown

His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "'All in Due Course. appeared thus on p.101 of the 8 February 1911 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "Catesby Mr. Churchill. 'My liege The Dukes etcetera have been taken.' Richard the Third Mr. Asquith. 'Off with their heads! So much for Dukes etcetera.' Catesby. 'My liege e'en now they prate of self-reform.' Richard the Third. 'Off with their heads! We will reform 'em later.' "Richard The Third" Colley Cibber - "French" version Act IV. Scene 4." Prime Minister Herbert Asquith's Liberal government introduced the Parliament Act to curb the powers of the House of Lords following the clash between the Commons and Lords over the 1909 People's Budget. Churchill was at 'point' for much of the attack on the Lords. Here the message is: show them no mercy. In Shakespeare's Richard III Catesby is one of the King's ardent supporters.

1912réf. 007117London: Punch 1912. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L. Stiles author of Churchill in Punch Unicorn Publishing Group 2022. His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "'A SEA-CHANGE appeared thus on p.91 of the 24 July 1912 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is subtitled "'INTO SOMETHING RICH AND STRANGE'". The lengthy caption reads "First Lord of the Admiralty at Earl's Court. 'WELL THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE YOUR TIME; BUT OUR LOWER DECK'S AS GOOD AS EVER' Shade of Sir Richard Grenville of the 'Revenge' 'YES; AND I HEAR THEY'RE UNDERPAID AS WELL AS EVER.' First Lord. 'AH! THAT'S ANOTHER CHANGE WE HOPE TO MAKE.'" The issue of increased pay for seamen is notionally discussed with Sir Richard Grenville captain of the Revenge who died in the Battle of Flores in 1591. The point is obviously a dramatization of the perennial privations of seamen as well as a poke at Winston's ambitions for sweeping changes to the British Navy - ambitions which despite the cartoon he largely succeeded in making.

This cartoon titled "THE INTERNATIONAL DERBY." appeared thus on p.575 of the 27 May 1925 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "The Horse. 'SIT ME AS LIGHT AS YOU CAN WINSTON; I'M NOT FEELING VERY WELL TO-DAY.'" Churchill then Chancellor of the Exchequer is portrayed as a jockey wearing the Union Jack astride an agitated mount labeled "BRITISH INDUSTRY". Churchill was weighing the tax and financial burdens of industry and the British taxpayer.

His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "WORK FOR THE AXE." appeared thus on p.703 of the 1 July 1925 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "Mr. Churchill. 'SO FAR SO GOOD. NOW FOR THE REGIONS OF ETERNAL ICE.'" In the image Winston dressed as a circa 1920s mountaineer stands leaning on a pickaxe labeled "FINANCE BILL 3RD READING" while regarding a distant high peak labeled "STATE EXTRAVAGANCE". Churchill as Chancellor of the Exchequer was seeing his first budget through Parliament. Issues being hotly debated ranged from war debt payments to the U.S. the cost of social programs such as unemployment insurance health care payments new taxes and on whom industry versus individual consumer and the recent reintroduction of the Gold Standard.

1931réf. 007155London: Punch 1931. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L. Stiles author of Churchill in Punch Unicorn Publishing Group 2022. His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "CONVERSATION FOR TWO." appeared thus on p.239 of the 4 March 1931 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "Mr. Winston Churchill. 'I HOPE I INTRUDE.'" The First Round Table Conference November 1930-January 1931 convened to consider government reform in India included Mohandas Gandhi and Secretary of State for India William Wedgwood Benn both depicted in this cartoon. Churchill is the only one not in contemporary garb dressed instead in old-fashioned riding clothes perhaps suggesting antiquated views. Clearly he is not an invited or welcome guest to the conversation. In 1931 Churchill had begun what would become a decade spent out of power and out of favor frequently at odds with both his own Conservative Party and prevailing public sentiment. In early 1931 Churchill broke with his Party over the India Bill. Churchill spent formative time as a young 19th century cavalry officer fighting on the northwest Indian frontier about which he would write his first published book. He certainly did not adopt an early progressive attitude toward relinquishing control over the crown jewel of Britain's colonial empire. Nonetheless it is instructive to remember that many of Churchill's dire warnings about Indian independence proved prophetic. Churchill had warned that too swift a British withdrawal from India would lead to bloody civil war and sectarian strife between Hindus and Muslims Hindu domination and destabilizing political balkanization of the subcontinent. All these predictions came to pass and to a considerable extent persist today. Punch or The London Charivari began featuring Churchill cartoons in 1900 when his political career was just beginning.

1928réf. 007150London: Punch 1928. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L. Stiles author of Churchill in Punch Unicorn Publishing Group 2022. His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "ST. WINSTON AND THE BRITISH LION." appeared thus on p.435 of the 18 April 1928 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "MR. PUNCH PRESENTS THE ABOVE CARTOON IN CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH CENTENARY OF THE DEATH OF ALBRECHT DURER." In the cartoon as the British Lion rests watchfully at Churchill's feet Churchill - then Chancellor of the Exchequer - works diligently on the budget. Of note are the knives and scissors and the hour glass showing time running out. Albrecht Durer 1471-1548 like Churchill a Renaissance man was a German printer and printmaker known to da Vinci and Raphael. When this cartoon was published Churchill was a dozen years and an unrecognizable world away from his wartime premiership - a premiership that saw him become indelibly associated with the British Lion ubiquitous in British heraldry for the better part of a thousand years. The association with Churchills rumbling oratory and implacably steadfast wartime leadership was perhaps inevitable. The iconic photographic portrait of Churchill taken on 30 December 1941 by Yousef Karsh among the most famous photographic images of the twentieth century - came to be known as The Roaring Lion. Years later in remarks on his 80th birthday in 1954 Churchill would remark on his legacy: It was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lions heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar. Punch or The London Charivari began featuring Churchill cartoons in 1900 when his political career was just beginning.

His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "THE PASSER-BY." appeared thus on p.71 of the 21 July 1926 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "Mr. Churchill to M. Caillaux. 'JUMP UP MATE; THE OLD MOKE'LL MANAGE SOMEHOW.' Uncle Sam a realist. 'VERY TOUCHING. I'VE HEARD THAT THIS KIND OF FELLOW-FEELING MAY OFTEN BE FOUND AMONG THE POOR.'" Joseph Caillaux was a French politician who led the Free Radical Party and in this cartoon represents his countrymen traveling on foot. Churchill - then Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer - is riding a cart pulled by a beleaguered donkey "Old Moke" labeled "BRITISH TAXPAYER. In he background representing the United States Uncle Sam whizzes by in a motor car puffing on a cigar supercilious and making a snide comment.

Stiles author of Churchill in Punch Unicorn Publishing Group 2022. His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "THE CAVALIERS." appeared thus at the top of page 1 of the 3 January 1945 issue of Punch - the first issue of 1945. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon rather sunnily features the wartime Allied triumvirate of Franklin D. Roosevelt Joseph Stalin and Winston S. Churchill as three musketeers. By the end of the year the war would be won Roosevelt dead and Churchill voted out of office and the victory already fracturing into what would become the Cold War with only Stalin remaining at the helm of his nation.
