"Punch and Judy" in "Drawing Room Amusements and Evening Party Entertainments" by Professor Hoffmann (1879).
This book covers hundreds of activities that Victorians engaged in at home to entertain family and friends. Included are a variety of games, challenges, "forfeits," amateur theatricals, musicales, puppetry, shadow pantomime, magic tricks, charades, waxwork exhibitions, "tableaux vivants," and many other activities that have vanished. They've been replaced by passive activities for home entertainment such as radio, television and the internet.
