NOTE.--Mr. Edward Walford, M.A., states in Notes and Queries 16 June
1888 p. 478 that Mark Lemon told him the place of his birth was a house
included in the Crystal Palace bazaar just behind Peter Robinson’s
emporium, this was probably the present No. 228 Oxford St. formerly No.
108 down to 1881 when all the houses in Oxford st. west of Tottenham
Court road were renumbered. There is a portrait of Lemon by John Leech
in his two-page cartoon called “Mr. Punch’s fancy ball” in Punch 9
Jany. 1847 as the conductor of the orchestra. In Alfred Bunn’s A word
with Punch 1847 Lemon is spoken of as Thickhead, there is a portrait
representing him as a pot boy and it is suggested that he was a tailor
and vastly like Moses. He wrote the first article in the first number
of Punch entitled The Moral of Punch. The rev. J. Richardson, LL.B.
states in his Recollections of the last half century vol. 1 (1856)
80–2 that Lemon kept the Shakespeare’s Head tavern in Wych st. Strand
for one year after his marriage. In “Mr. Punch: his origin and career”
[1870] there is a facsimile of the original prospectus of Punch in the
handwriting of Lemon.

It more resembled one of later date
And tenfold talent, as I’m told, in Bow st.,
Where kindlier souls do congregate;
And though there are who deem that same a low street,
Yet I’m assured, for frolicsome debate
And genuine humour it’s surpassed by no street,
When the ‘Chief Baron’ enters and assumes
To rule o’er mimic Thesigers and Broughams.
