Abstract

The hypothesis investigated was: "That over a prescribed period (1841 -1966) the cartoonists contributing to Punch have, through the

medium of their work, a significant contribution to make in reflecting public attitudes to matters of Health."

For logistic reasons a "Case Study" approach was adopted, these

being:-

(1) The Dentist.

(2) Cholera.

(3) The formation of the National Health Service.

(4) Smoking and Health.

(5) Pollution and Adulteration.

(6) The Mentally and Physically Handicapped.

(7) The acceptable face of In - Health.

Over 500 Cartoons to support the text are reproduced in an accompanying volume.
