Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century Briton, as yet a neophyte in pictorial satire, the secrets of the craft. The seed thus sown fell on fertile soil, and during some thirtyy ears the Dutch cartoons and emblematical prints, which dealt with the iniquities of the French, and other subjects of interest to both countries, were regularly copied and adapted for the British market, the inscriptions being printed both in Dutch and English. The word earicature had not as yet come into general use. Its first appearance in English literature is in the G'firim'aa Mora/r of Sir Thomas Browne, who exhorts the reader not to expose himself by four footed manners unto monstrous draughts and urn representations. It was several decades later that Addison, writing upon Detractors in an early number of the Spectator, observed, From all these hands we have such draughts of mankind as are represented in those burlesque pictures which the Italians eoll Carieaturas, where the art consists in preserving, amidst distorted proportions and aggravated features, some distinguishing likeness of the person, but in such a manner as to transform the most agreeable beauty into the most odious monster. About the same period (1709-10) Steele, in the course of an article in the Tar/er, states that a burgher of Amsterdam has sent him several draughts of humourous and satirical pictures by the best hands of the They are a trading people, and their very minds mechanics.

This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTORY The word Caricature does not lend itself easily to precise definition. Etymologically it connects itself with the Italian caricare, to load or charge, thus corresponding precisely in derivation with its French equivalent Charge; and-save a yet earlier reference in Sir Thomas Browne-it first appears, as far as I am aware, in that phrase of No. 537 of the Spectator, "Those burlesque pictures which the Italians call caracaturas." Putting the dry bones of etymology from our thought the essence, the life-blood of the thing itself, is surely this-the human creature's amusement with itself and its environment, and its expression of that amusement through the medium of the plastic arts. So that our caracatura, our burlesque picture of life, stands on the same basis as comedy or satire, is, in fact, but comedy or satire finding its outlet in another form of expression. And this is so true that wherever we find brilliant or trenchant satire of life there we may be sure, too, that caricature is not far absent. Pauson's grotesques are the correlative of the Comedies of Aristophanes; and when the development of both is not correlative, not simultaneous, it is surely because one or other has been checked by political or social conditions, which have been inherently antagonistic to its growth. Those conditions-favourable or antagonistic-it becomes part of our inquiry at this point to examine. We have this to ask, even granting that our "burlesque picture" is a natural, almost a necessary, accompaniment of human life, -was found, we may quite safely assume, in the cave-dwelling of primitive man, who probably satirised with a flint upon its walls those troublesome neighbours of his, the mammoth and the megatherium, -peers out upon us from the complex culture of the Roman world in the clumsy graffito of the Crucifixion, -emerges in the Middle Ages in a turbulent growth of grotesque, wherein those grim figures of Death or Devil move through a maze of imagery often quaint and fantastic, sometimes obscene or terrible-takes a fresh start in the Passionals of Lucas Cranach, and can be traced in England through her Rebellion and Restoration up to the very confines of the eighteenth century. Why, we have to ask, even granting that William Hogarth's "monster Caricatura" is thus omnivorous and omnipresent, does he tower aloft in some countries and under some conditions to the majesty of a new art, and in others dwindle down to puny ridicule? Taking the special subject of this little volume, the eighteenth century itself, we find little to interest us in French pictorial satire until that monstrous growth of political caricature created by the Revolution. Italy in the same period has but little to offer us, Germany as little or less; and it is to England that we must turn for the pictorial humour, whether social or political, of that interesting epoch. And this because the England of that time is a self-conscious creature, emergent from a successful struggle for freedom, and strong enough to enjoy a hearty laugh-even at her own expense....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first scholarly study to focus on satirical prints of women in the late eighteenth century. This was the golden age of graphic satire: thousands of prints were published, and they were viewed by nearly all sections of the population. These prints both reflected and sought to shape contemporary debate about the role of women in society. Cindy McCreery's study examines the beliefs and prejudices of Georgian England which they revealed.
Download or read book Seeing Satire in the Eighteenth Century written by Elizabeth Mansfield and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moment in history when verbal satire, caricature, and comic performance exerted unprecedented influence on society, the Enlightenment sustained a complex, though now practically invisible, culture of visual humor. In Seeing satire in the eighteenth century contributors recapture the unique energy of comic images in the works of key artists and authors whose satirical intentions have been obscured by time. From a decoding of Charles-Germain de Saint-Aubin's Livre de caricatures as a titillating jibe at royal and courtly figures, a reinterpretation of the man's muff as an emblem of foreignness, foppishness and impotence, a reappraisal of F. X. Messerschmidt's sculpted heads as comic critiques of Lavater's theories of physiognomy, to the press denigration of William Wilberforce's abolitionist efforts, visual satire is shown to extend to all areas of society and culture across Europe and North America. By analysing the hidden meaning of these key works, contributors reveal how visual comedy both mediates and intensifies more serious social critique. The power of satire's appeal to the eye was as clearly understood, and as widely exploited in the Enlightenment as it is today. Includes over 80 illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging study explores how the works of Shakespeare, Milton, Swift, and others were taken up by caricaturists as a means of helping the eighteenth-century British public make sense of political issues, outrages, and personalities. The first in-depth exploration of the relationship between literature and visual satire in this period, David Taylor’s book explores how great texts, seen through the lens of visual parody, shape how we understand the political world. It offers a fascinating, novel approach to literary history.
