AN EXAMPLE OF PUNCH MAGAZINE...
Punch magazine, a creation in the 1840's of a magazine full of humour and satire. It voiced the publics opinion, gave them the power to their right of speech and also kept the politicians in place and check with their behaviour. Many of the illustrations in the magazine and on the cover are black and white, and depict a politician or leader of the time in some sort of political satire. This has influenced some columns in newspapers today that discuss what the politicians have been upto and caricature them in a satire to 'poke fun' and reveal a different opinion to the mainstream usually.
