Romanticism and Caricature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A lively and colourful study of the 'Golden Age' of caricature. Detailed interpretations of key prints show how artists, including James Gillray, George and Robert Cruikshank, and Thomas Rowlandson, transformed Romantic-era politics into a unique and compelling spectacle of corruption, monstrosity and resistance.
