Sydney Punch

Sydney Punch (1864–1888) was a humorous and satirical magazine published in Sydney, New South Wales. Like Melbourne Punch and Adelaide Punch, it was modelled on Punch of London.

History

First published in May 1864, it was the third magazine of the name to be published, the previous two having failed after a few issues. It was founded by Edgar Ray, (1828–1905), co-founder with Frederick Sinnett of Melbourne Punch.[1]
