Summary | "English Caricaturists and Graphic Humourists of the Nineteenth Century" by Graham Everitt is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the evolution and significance of English caricature and graphic satire from the time of Napoleon until the death of noted cartoonist John Leech in 1864. It provides a detailed examination of how caricaturists interpreted and illustrated the social and political climate of their times, with prominent figures like Gillray, Rowlandson, and Cruikshank featured prominently. The opening of the book introduces the subject of caricature, defining it as an exaggerated portrayal that conveys popular opinion and sentiments of the era. Everitt discusses the shift in style and spirit of English caricatures, noting how earlier works were characterized by coarseness typical of the last century, while later caricaturists like John Doyle and his successors refined and transformed the art into a more sophisticated form. He asserts the relevance of these artists in understanding the political narratives of their time, particularly regarding figures like Napoleon and the socio-political changes happening throughout the 19th century.
