A. Hammerton is a collection of humorous sketches and illustrations derived from the British magazine "Punch," written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of the "Punch Library of Humour" series, showcasing the wit and comedic observations of British travelers abroad, especially in continental Europe. The book features a variety of artists and writers, including George Du Maurier and Charles Keene, offering a satirical look at the experiences and peculiarities of Englishmen traveling on the Continent. The opening of the book sets the tone for the humor and charm that follow, discussing how British tourists often display a mix of naivety and entitlement when abroad. It highlights the amusing contrasts between English and continental manners, particularly in light of the changing international relationships of the time. In a whimsical foreword, it touches on themes of national pride while poking fun at the antics and misadventures of Englishmen in various foreign settings, suggesting that Mr. Punch always maintained a friendly perspective despite the cultural quirks he observed. The blend of text and illustrations in these initial pages hints at the delightful satire and reflections that make the collection enjoyable for both travelers and armchair readers alike.
