内容説明
"The Parsee Punch" made its mark as the only illustrated comic weekly paper in the Bombay Presidency. It was published in July 1854 at the Apyakhtiar Press by Dadabhai Soheri from 12 Elphinstone Circle, Fort, Bombay. "Parsee Punch" appeared in four sheets, demy quarto, with English and Gujarati letterpress below the illustrations. Soon, a monthly selection of the cartoon, cuts and sketches appeared as the Pickings. Like the London Punch, it contained 24 to 36 pages full of humorous illustrations. Four years later, it changed its name to Hindi Punch to broaden its base. It continued to be published until the 1930s. "Parsee Punch" was always much more than that. If the cartoons were meant to enliven the dull monotony of our every-day lives, then the "Parsee Punch" did just that. If, on the other hand, they were meant to be skillfully designed and drawn, then the job was equally well done. "The Parsee Punch" highlighted the relationship between public culture and colonialism. The cartoons they published illustrate, in a lighter vein, contemporary anxieties and predicaments in a witty satirical fashion.
"Wit and Wisdom: Pickings from the Parsee Punch" presents a selection from the publication.
