PUNCHINELLO, New York, April 9, 1870 This is just the second issue of this famous title known for its satirical content directed at the various social and political issues of the day. Inspired by the English publication Punch, it existed only from April 2 to December 14, 1870.
The magazine was founded by former editors of Vanity Fair, which went out of business in 1863. They found four investors willing to provide $5000 each—though they did not disclose that they included robber baron Jay Gould, financial buccaneer Jim Fisk, and corrupt politicians Boss Tweed. It ceased publication within nine months.
Sixteen pages, various illustrations within, 12 1/4 by 8 3/4 inches, minor dirtiness at margins, good condition.
