Book excerpt: "This enormous selection, which must rank as one of the best cartoon compilations of all time, has been specially selected by Helen Walasek of the Punch Cartoon Library and former curator of the Punch Collection. Leafing through its pages you are transported from the parlors and drawing rooms of the 19th century, with insolent servants and arrogant aristocrats, through the smoggy streets and crowded omnibuses of the cities, to the open fields of the country where "townies" shelter from the rain to the scorn of the locals, and would be fishermen and golfers find frustration." "The First World War brings a brash patriotism that leads to a cynical look at the hedonism of the Twenties, pokes fun at the new suburbanites and celebrates the growth of mass entertainment and travel. With the coming of World War Two all the restrictions, foibles and fears of wartime on the Home Front and in the Armed Forces are reflected in Punch's cartoons. But the fun returns with the post-war boom. Consumerism develops, then it's into the Swinging Sixties - popular music, modern art and youth in rebellion. The excesses of the Eighties are chronicled and Nineties are chronicled too. Mr. Punch's cartoonists were there to observe it all, and yon can too, in the pages of this magnificent tome." --Book Jacket.

Book Cartooning China

  • Author : Amy Matthewson
  • Publisher : Taylor & Francis
  • Release : 2022-03-17
  • ISBN : 1000556085
  • Pages : 197 pages

Download or read book Cartooning China written by Amy Matthewson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the series of cartoons of China and the Chinese that were published in the popular British satirical magazine Punch over a sixty-year period from 1841 to 1901. Filled with political metaphors and racial stereotypes, these illustrations served as a powerful tool in both reflecting and shaping notions and attitudes towards China at a tumultuous time in Sino-British history. A close reading of both the visual and textual satires in Punch reveals how a section of British society visualised and negotiated with China as well as Britain’s position in the global community. By contextualising Punch’s cartoons within the broader frameworks of British socio-cultural and political discourse, the author engages in a critical enquiry of popular culture and its engagements with race, geopolitical propaganda, and public consciousness. With a wide array of illustrations, this book in the Global Perspectives in Comics Studies series will be an important resource for scholars and researchers of cultural studies, political history and Empire, Chinese studies, popular culture, Victoriana, as well as media studies. It will also be of interest to readers who want to learn more about Punch, its history, and Sino-British relations.

Book Artist of Wonderland

  • Author : Frankie Morris
  • Publisher : Lutterworth Press

  • ISBN : 0718847857
  • Pages : 810 pages

Download or read book Artist of Wonderland written by Frankie Morris and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known today as the illustrator of Lewis Carroll's Alice books, John Tenniel was one of the Victorian era's chief political cartoonists. This extensively illustrated book is the first to draw almost exclusively on primary sources in family collections, public archives, and other depositories. Frankie Morris examines Tenniel's life and work, producing a book that is not only a definitive resource for scholars and collectors but one that can be easily enjoyed by everyone interested in Victorian life and art, social history, journalism and political cartoons, and illustrated books. In the first part of the book, Morris looks at Tenniel the man. From his sunny childhood and early enthusiasm for sports, theatre, and medievalism to his flirtation with high art and his fifty years with the London journal Punch, Tenniel is shown to have been the sociable and urbane humorist revealed in his drawings. Tenniel's countrymen thought his work would embody for future historians the 'trend and character' of Victorian thought and life. Morris assesses to what extent that prediction has been fulfilled. The biography is followed by three sections on Tenniel's work, consisting of thirteen independent essays in which the author examines Tenniel's methods and his earlier book illustrations, the Alice pictures, and the Punch cartoons. For lovers of Alice, Morris offers six chapters on Tenniel's work for Carroll. These reveal demonstrable links with Christmas pantomimes, Punch and Judy shows, nursery toys, magic lanterns, nineteenth-century grotesques, Gothic revivalism, and social caricatures. Morris also demonstrates how Tenniel's cartoons depicted the key political questions of his day, from the Eastern Question to Lincoln and the American Civil War, examining their assumptions, devices, and evolving strategies. The definitive study of both the man and the work, Artist of Wonderland gives an unprecedented view of the cartoonist who mythologized the world for generations of Britons.
