Text / Sprache: Englisch , Galloping through 'Punch' / Ed. by Robert Welsh , This breathless gallop through the annals of equine caricature selects the best of Punch's comic vision of the horse. From the time when horsedrawn transport was the norm right down to the children's gymkhanas and pony trekking holidays of today, riding - that ever-so-English pastime - has provided fodder for the long sharp pen of the illustrator with a sense of humour. The cartoons - 174 of them - cover all aspects of the horse world - trotting round the park or in full cry after the hounds, Members of Parliament (there goes another radical seat, etc) with their faces in the mud or their backsides in a brook, the Frenchmen who elected to join the English in the chase and who Punch chose to represent with their feet more often in the air than in the irons, the aristocracy in Rotten Row or the Park, the under-instructed nouveau riche who dared to join this exclusive arena - all come in for Punch's unique satire. Later, as the horse as a means of transport was superseded, new vistas for the satirists' wit were opened up - the acrimony which passed between the different classes of road user, cab and omnibus driver, pony trap and donkey cart . 17429A ISBN 0715371983 Aufgrund der EU-Verpackungsverordnung (PPWR) erfolgt der Versand nur nach Deutschland und ins Nicht-EU-Ausland.
