Sinopsis

James Gillray was a British caricaturist and printmaker active from 1779 to 1811. He became famous in his own lifetime for his unmerciful satires on politicians, high society and the Royal family during the scandal-rich Regency period, earning him the contemporary descriptionáofáâÇÖa caterpillar on the green leaf of reputationâÇÖ. Today, he is arguably the most influential caricaturist the world has known.Butáwhile he isácredited with beingáthe father of the political cartoon,áhe also dabbled in the world outside the high and mighty, satirizing everyday social situationsáfrom ideas often provided by friends. As I delved into his work,áI became familiar with thoseáprints also, some of which had no known background descriptions ináeitherácontemporary books oráthe British MuseumâÇÖs archives. I thought it would be fun to remedy that situation which was the inspiration for the stories in this book.áá
