[Published August 14, 1929] THE MUSSOLINI MUZZLE The Dictator of Spain. "I wonder if that Italian 'silencer' I've fixed on him is going to have much effect on his hind legs." [The sensitiveness of the dictatorship in Spain to popular criticism is show in the new decree that any ordinary citizen who criticizes the authorities or "fortells misfortunes to the country" shall be liable to imprisonment.] --Miguel Primo de Rivera y Orbaneja, 2nd Marquess of Estella (8 January 1870 – 16 March 1930), was a dictator, aristocrat, and military officer who served as Prime Minister of Spain from 1923 to 1930 during Spain's Restoration era..Sir John Bernard Partridge (11 October 1861 – 9 August 1945) was an English illustrator. Born in London, for some years he was well known as an actor under the name of Bernard Gould. But he was most renowned for his association with Punch magazine. He joined the Punch staff in 1891 and became chief cartoonist in 1910, a position he held until his death in 1945. His cartoons usually featured one or two stately figures centre stage; as Price, Punch’s biographer, pointed out Partridge’s cartoons were ‘theatrical’ rather than ‘dramatic’. He was a master cartoon propagandist, amply shown in his many war-time cartoons published in Punch.Over 3,000 Punch cartoons listed for sale, combine orders and save shipping charges. Questions are always welcome. Punch, a magazine of humor and satire, ran from 1841-2002. A very British institution renowned internationally for its wit and irreverence, it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration.
