Artifact Overview

Punch and Judy puppet shows -- portable and easy to stage on a street corner, in a park, or as part of a traveling circus -- attracted Americans of all ages during the 1800s. "Bad boy" Punch always managed to get away with mischief -- much to the delight of his audience. Punch & Judy even inspired toy versions of themselves.
