- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
- Publish date: 03/01/1998
Description:
The late eighteenth century in England was the first great age of cartooning, and English caricature prints of the period have long been enjoyed for their humor and vitality. Diana Donald presents the first major study of these caricatures, showing that they were a widely disseminated form of political expression and propaganda as subtle and elegant as the written word.
