Résumé

Launched in 1841 as a radical magazine championing the poor and dispossessed, Punch, or the London Charivari rapidly mellowed and, over the years, became the voice of the Establishment. As its popularity grew, a large team of contributors were gathered, including many talented artists such as Leech, Keene, Tenniel or du Maurier whose weekly cartoons became the periodical’s hallmark. This paper focuses on a selection of these innumerable drawings whose humorous comments on the political and social scene of the day may be interpreted as an alternative discourse which, together with the magazine’s columns, not only reflected but also shaped the opinion of the British mainstream.
