Harry Furniss was one of the great Victorian comic illustrators, celebrated for his long run of work in Punch and for his unforgettable caricatures of Members of Parliament. The Confessions of a Caricaturist is his delightfully indiscreet memoir, full of behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Victorian journalism, politics, and the illustrated press. Volume 2 continues the revelations with undiminished energy.
Funny, occasionally wicked, and richly illustrated with Furniss’s own caricatures, this is a vivid and insider portrait of the Victorian comic world. Download this free EPUB and take a privileged seat in the press gallery.
