The History of the Nineteenth Century in Caricature


The best cartoons are those which do not just reflect contemporary public opinion, but guide it. A cartoon which wittily illustrates some significant historical event, and interpret the current mindset of the public, is equally as amusing today as it was two hundred years ago.

The authors of this richly illustrated book cover the beginning of political caricature in the Napoleonic era, through the Crimean war, Franco-Prussian war, to the end of 19th century. Details and download links here.
