The Age of Caricature
Analysing the meanings of the prints, Donald applies current perspectives on the eighteenth century to the changing roles of women and constructions of gender, the alleged rise of a consumer society, the growth of political awareness outside aristocratic circles, and the problems of defining 'class' values in the later Georgian era.
The Complete Book of Caricature
Here extensive samples from top professionals including David Levine, Mort Drucker and Ralph Steadman combine with step-by-step lessons and exercises to make this the definitive book on caricatures. 300 illustrations.
Superportraits
Despite their exaggerated features, caricatures can remain instantly recognizable. The author assembles clues from a variety of sources to discover why, concluding that caricatures are effective for humans, animals and computer recognition systems.
The Rise of Victorian Caricature
This book serves as a retrieval and reevaluation of a rich haul of comic caricatures from the turbulent years between the Reform Bill crisis of the early 1830s and the rise and fall of Chartism in the 1840s. With a telling selection of illustrations, this book deploys the techniques of close reading and political contextualization to demonstrate the aesthetic and ideological clout of a neglected tranche of satirical prints and periodicals dismissed as ineffectual by historians or distasteful by contemporaries. The prime exhibits are the work of Robert Seymour and C.J. Grant giving acerbic comic edge to the case for reform against class and state oppression and the excesses of the monarchical regime under the young Queen Victoria.
