| Punch and the Doctor Glass Magic Lantern Slide Theobald & Co., Nineteenth Century The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Number six of twelve in the series of hand-colored glass Magic Lanterns slides by Theobald & Co. depicting Mr. Punch in scenes from his famous puppet show. Here, we see Punch being examined by the doctor.
The following text accompanies the slide during a magic lantern show:
Punch: Oh dear, I been thrown off my donkey. What an ass he is. I believe I’m killed. Doctor, dear doctor, feel my pulse; try to save me for dear old Judy’s sake. What, nothing the matter with me? Don’t gammon me, I know I must be killed, I feel like it.
