"The Six-Mark Tea-Pot" in Punch, 1880
"The Six-Mark Tea-Pot" by George Du Maurier is widely considered to be Wilde's first appearance in Punch. While the aesthetic bridegroom does not look too much like Wilde, the cartoon clearly alludes to Wilde's famous remark at Oxford that 'I find it harder and harder every day to live up to my blue china'. The cartoon marks the beginning of Punch's (and Du Maurier's) long relationship with Oscar Wilde.
