Comedy, Caricature and the Social Order, 1820–50 - Brian Maidment - Bog

In offering an overview of the market for comic images between 1820 and 1850, this book makes a case for the importance of a largely neglected area of visual culture. It draws on a wide range of commercially produced print genres, including song books, play-texts, comic annuals and magazines as well as single plate and series of caricatures. -- .
