Richard Newton and English Caricature in the 1790s

From Manchester University Press, this 1998 study explores the satirical world of James Gillray, the era's defining caricaturist, through a single issue that examines his work during the politically charged 1790s. It positions Gillray's biting, visually inventive prints as a crucial lens on British society and politics, making a case for their enduring significance in the history of graphic satire.
