English Caricaturists and Graphic Humorists of the Nineteenth Century (Illustrated)
This book is heavily illustrated by the works of Nineteenth Century English caricaturists and graphic humorists. There are seventy wood engravings that accompany the script of this volume.
The intention of this book is to show how the caricaturist “illustrated” his time,—in other words, how he “interpreted” the social and political events of his day, according to his own bias, or the views he was retained to serve.
This book supplies a treatise upon our caricaturists and comic draughtsmen worthy of the great subject, an entertaining history of caricature, and consequently of the events, political and social, of the century; in fact, a thoroughly readable and instructive book. And what a number of political occurrences, scandals public and private, movements political and secular, are passed in review! All these events Mr. Everitt describes at length with great clearness and vivacity, giving us a view of them, so to speak, from the inside.
It is a handsome and important volume of 400 pages; the letterpress being a brightly written commentary, abounding with illustrative gossip, on the caricature of the century and the merits of its graphic humorists. It includes a great deal of the more stirring social and political history of the time. The illustrations so plentifully strewn through Mr. Everitt’s volume give it a peculiar interest.
A real contribution to the history of the social life of the century, the book is very fully and well illustrated, forming in fact quite a gallery of nineteenth century caricature.
The plates with which it is illustrated are remarkably well produced, and are useful in themselves, and are neatly and clearly printed, so that they give a capital idea of the originals from which they are prepared.
