The Puppet-Show (1848–1849) was a British humorous and satirical weekly magazine,[1] a short-lived imitator of Punch, edited by John Bridgeman from offices at 11 Wellington Street North in London.[2] The first issue was published on 18 March 1848. The primary targets of its political satire were Lord Russell's Whig ministry, Chartists, Irish nationalists, and the French.[3]
