The Eighteenth Century in English Caricature

"The Eighteenth Century in English Caricature" by Selwyn Brinton looks at how the 1700s were described often through the lens of caricature. Comedies on the topic of vice, society, politics, and life, in general, were a mainstay in the world, particularly in England, and allowed an outlet for people's harsher thoughts. This text, along with its example illustrations helps paint a picture of a past version of England that helped shape the nation's sense of humor and culture.
