The Punch and Judy show.

Diorama depicting a Victorian Punch and Judy show on the British seaside. The focus of the scene is a traditional Punch and Judy booth, in which are visible the characters of Punch, Judy, and the Constable. The booth is adorned with a poster reading: "Professor Fezzywig's travelling puppet theatre." To the left of the booth is the show's bottler, with Toby the dog sitting atop the bottler's drum. The audience consists of two children: a girl in navy sailor's dress and straw hat, and a boy (in folded paper hat) preoccupied with the building of a sandcastle. The scene also includes the partial hull of a wooden boat; assorted rocks, shells, and seaweed; and a model yacht. The yacht is a nod to Briggs' primary activity as a maker of miniature ships.
Background for the diorama is provided by a watercolor depicting a pleasant seaside day, with coastal cottages and piers, small boats, and a couple of ladies and gentlemen enjoying the beach (in late Victorian dress). The watercolor is signed on the reverse: Paul Briggs, May 2000 ... Nottingham, U.K.
The diorama is accompanied by a radio control system (Acoms, model no. AP-201), enabling remote control of characters in the Punch and Judy booth.
