Friday 25 November - Final Topic - Political Cartoons / Satire

James Gillray, "the Plumb-pudding in Danger" hand coloured etching 1790s

This Friday we start the final topic, looking at political satire.
We will analyse the different methods satirical cartoonists and puppeteers have used including
Parody, Allegory, caricature and exaggeration. We will look at the artist Steve Bell in the present day, but also refer to the work of Gerald Scarfe, Ralph Steadman and the historical prints of the late 18th and early 19th century in England.
