"The History of the Nineteenth Century in Caricature" by Arthur Bartlett Maurice and Frederic Taber Cooper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the significant role of political caricature in shaping public opinion during the tumultuous events of the 19th century, notably focusing on the Napoleonic Wars and subsequent socio-political contexts. Through various chapters, the book delves into key artists like Gillray and Hogarth while providing a thematic analysis of the intersection of art, politics, and society. At the start of the book, the authors introduce the concept and evolution of political caricature, emphasizing its dependence on contemporary sociopolitical moments to hold relevance and influence. The text discusses the transition from ancient satirical imagery to modern caricature, detailing how advancements in printing technology enabled rapid dissemination of visual commentary, far more effective than its predecessors. The opening highlights the pivotal role of caricature as not only an illustration of public sentiment but also as a prophetic commentary on unfolding events, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of notable caricaturists and their works throughout the century.
