About This Book

An illustrated selection pairs reproductions of the artist's caricatures with anecdotal descriptions and a compact biographical sketch, tracing his development as a satirical draughtsman and watercolorist. The text surveys the wide thematic range of his prints—political and social satire, fashions and public amusements, gambling, sport, domestic follies, travel sketches, and scenes drawn from theatre and city life—while outlining his publishers, exhibition history, methods of etching and illustration, and relations with contemporaries. Critical notes accompany many plates to explain tone, recurring motifs, and the social contexts that inspired the imagery.

Transcriber's Notes:

Footnotes have been moved to the end of each chapter (in the text version) and to the end of the text (html version).

Illustrations have been moved to paragragh breaks in a direction which brings them closer to their descriptions. In the html version this has left blank pages where page numbers are omitted.

Obvious typos and punctuation errors have been corrected.

There are many instances of double choices for hyphenations. Some same words are hyphenated and some aren't. These have been left as printed.

In French both ou and où used.

The use of italics around _foreign_ words in english text, is inconsistent. These have been left as printed.

'Beef-Steak Club' and 'Beef-steak Club'. These have been left as printed.
