Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, Vol. 6: 1784-1792 Though the volume covers a shorter period than Volume V, not only are more prints described, but they are more important in character, for caricature was playing an increasing part in the life of the time. Moreover, the volume approaches the climax of English caricature in the rivalry of Fox and the younger Pitt (who had only just appeared with such amazing brilliance in the political arena) and in the initial excitements of the French Revolution. It should be repeated that the catalogue is based on the separate series of 'political and Personal Satires' in the Department of Prints and Drawings; that it does not profess to include all prints of this category scattered under masters and engravers in the departmental collection, or prints in the Museum Library, though it does so to some extent in both cases. As the value of the satirical print as an historical document increases progressively in proportion to the completeness of the collection, it is much to be hoped that help will be given by friends of the Museum in filling gaps in the series.

This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 922 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, Vol. 5: 1771-1783 The strictly chronological order has been applied only to political satires. The prints fall into two categories, political and non-political, the latter being classed as personal in accordance with the title of the Catalogue. This group includes social satires and non-political prints in general. As the political prints exclude 'the purely historical print (e.g. Prints after West's Death of Wolfe, so opposed in spirit to Gillray's Death of the Great Wolf, a caricature of West's picture), so the personal and social satires exclude genre except where it is humorous or cautionary, and therefore a satire on manners or morals. Though most of the prints fall clearly into one or other category there are some which may be considered either political or personal; these are impossible to classify with rigorous consistency. But the value of these personal prints for social history depends upon a knowledge of their date; they are therefore arranged in years, though within each year chronological order has been waived in favour of arrange ment by series, by artist, or by subject, overlapping categories which cannot be strictly observed. Taken together, the sequence of political and social prints reflects, as nothing else does, the changing and elusive spirit of the period. At the same time, a traditional symbolism and the recurrence of the same theme from age to age show how strong was the power of tradition, even in this art, so essentially of the moment. The thirteen years covered by this volume saw a change in the manner of pictorial satire and a great development in its political importance. These developments were closely inter-related and can scarcely be dis cussed separately, they were due to the interaction of aesthetic and political causes, and they are the more marked since in 1771 political satire was at a low ebb, while during 1782 - 3 it was at the highest point yet reached.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 874 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires, Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, Vol. 10: 1820-1827 Satires Dr. Dorothy George has reached the penultimate stage of her task and the year 1827. One further volume will bring the Catalogue down to 1832 and the passing of the Reform Bill, Which has been fixed as the limit of the work. This date marks not only the end of an historical era, but also the Virtual end of the type of political caricature Which has formed the bulk of the material catalogued in this and the preceding volumes. The scurrility and bitter personal invective of the age of Rowlandson and Gillray finally disappear and are replaced by the gentlemanly irony of H. B. And his imitators. Nor after 1832 does the material in the Department provide the continuous picture of political and social life Which it had done hitherto and Which made the elaborate treatment it has received in these volumes so valuable.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires, Vol. 7: Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, 1793-1800 There is tragic coincidence in the appearance of the present volume, dealing with the revolutionary period from 1793 to 1800, at a time when Europe is again overshadowed by war, and divided by national, political, and moral issues which often reflect, in like intensity, the conflicts and controversies of the earlier period. The pictorial illustration of these burning issues was peculiarly suited to the savage genius of Gillray, whose prestige was at its height in England and on the continent. Rowlandson, on the other hand, was less active during these years, though many attractive prints were published after earlier drawings, or as re-issues of earlier plates. A new period of activity opened for him in 1798, when scenes of army life were a fresh inspiration. About the same time begins the series of whole-length caricature portraits, for which Robert Dighton is chiefly known, after his short-lied experiments in political caricature. Unfortunately the Museum collection of these portraits is far from complete. Much interesting work was done by lesser artists, under the influence of Rowlandson and Gillray, Isaac Cruikshank and Woodward being especially prolific. The period covered is one year less than that of Volume VI, and the prints described are more than proportionately fewer. The reason for this is the very great number of political satires for the year 1784, about three times the average of other years, a result of the crisis of 1783-4, followed by a general election, when many prints were used as electioneering literature. Many of the prints of the present volume are international propaganda, some commissioned by the Committee of Public Safety, some fostered by a Ministerial pension to Gillray. The struggle between Pitt and Fox, the leading theme of Volume VI, continues, deepened by issues of war and peace. The Department is particularly indebted to Lord Ilchester, Mr. Anthony de Rothschild, and Mr. Minto Wilson, who have lent valuable collections of caricatures for purposes of collation. The Holland House collection has the exceptional interest of Ms. notes and identifications by the third Lord Holland. The Museum collection has been enriched by gifts from Mr. Minto Wilson and Mr. Robert Cust, while the former and Mr. Alfred Rubens have kindly allowed photographs to be taken of rare prints. Dr. George wishes to express her thanks for the help given her by Mr. E.H. Blakeney, Mr. W.B. Crumpe, Mr. Randall Davies, Dr. Gombrich, Mr. Wickham Legg, Mr. N.D. Riley, and Miss Sybil Rosenfeld. She is also much indebted to the Librarian of the House of Lords for giving her facilities for examining the Gillray collection in the Library, and to the staff of the Library in which she and her material are temporarily housed for their unwearied assistance. The final revision of the volume has been rendered more difficult by Dr. George's absence from the British Museum, and by the consequent lack of opportunity of reference to the Museum Library. I would ask for indulgence in case her habitual accuracy should have suffered thereby in any detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
