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[edit]

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]
