Business of Satirical Prints in Late Georgian England

Notes:

Deals with the golden age of caricature between 1780 and 1820 and especially the production and distribution industry on which it was based, the latter flourishing in the last years of the 18th and early years of 19th centuries. Its links to map publishing are considered. Much based on the experience of Isaac Cruikshank, 1756-1811, a leading caricaturist and provider of artwork. Chapters include 'Bringing satire to market; 'Production'; 'Trade networks'; 'Physical market place'. Essentially a cultural approach but dealing in detail with the underlying business rationale and activity
