English Caricaturists and Graphic Humourists of the Nineteenth Century by Graham Everitt surveys the rich tradition of British comic and satirical illustration. It treats the leading caricaturists and humorous artists of the century, from the heirs of Gillray and Rowlandson through the illustrators of Punch, explaining how they pictured and interpreted the politics and manners of their times.
Generously illustrated, the book is both a critical appreciation and a social history seen through the lens of comic art. It remains a valuable reference for the study of nineteenth-century caricature. This free EPUB download is cleanly formatted for any e-reader.
