He contributed many illustrated articles for that newspaper. In 1862 as a foreign resident of Yokhoama, he began a new publication the "Japan Punch." * JAPAN PUNCH: was published by Wirgman for 25 years, at first irregularly, then monthly from 1874. The newspaper remains a valuable source of information on the Yokohama foreign settlement and politics and social issues of the day. In Yokohama, where Wirgman was something of a native son. The journal eventually quit operation around 1887. "Japan Punch" was loaded with anecdotes and comic charicatures of local foreign residents, articles on Japan and the Japanese, historic events. * JAPAN PUNCH provided a vital eye-witness account of the heady days in Yokohama as Japan encountered the Western world and their culture. The articles will make you laugh, blush and ponder as the characters come alive. Wirgman was one of those engaging, eccentric, polyglot types who adventured around the Far East and had the knack to make great cartoons as well as caustic essays. The Japan Punch was a satire cartoon magazine. * THE BIRTH OF HAND-COLORED PHOTOGRAPHS IN YOKOHAMA: Being an illustrator and painter, Wirgman got a brilliant idea: to hand color photographs of Japan that were popular with foreign visitors in Yokohama. He contacted his old colleague and friend who he worked with in China, Felice Beato. Wirgman worked together writing stories, doing sketches and Beato, photographing in India and China. At the invitation of Wirgman, Beato came to Japan and the pair began a production line of hand-colored photos. Beato photographed Japanese life, while Wirgman began to hand-tint the albumen photographs of native types, scenery and views of Japan. * REFERENCES: JAPAN BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA & WHO'S WHO, p.1840 for more details.
