Summary: "English Caricature and Satire on Napoleon I. Volume 1 (of 2)" by John Ashton is a historical collection written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the caricatures and satirical illustrations that emerged in England about Napoleon Bonaparte, particularly during his rise to power and conflicts with Britain. The book also provides contextual historical commentary to accompany the visual satire, aiming to blend humor with historical insight. At the start of this volume, the author outlines his objective: rather than providing a conventional history of Napoleon, he seeks to showcase various caricatures and satires that depict the famed military leader through a comedic lens. The opening chapters delve into Napoleon's ancestry, early life, and the portrayal of his character by political satirists, offering insights into how he was perceived throughout his controversial and powerful career. By highlighting the often absurd and grotesque representations of Napoleon, the text sets the stage for an exploration of how political sentiment influenced art and vice versa during a turbulent period in history.
