Political Cartoons: Political and Social Satire through the Centuries

History may have been written by the victors, but everyone, especially the victors will be lampooned in print. In this trot through 300 years of history as shown through memorable British cartoons, Dr Rose Roberto will present graphic satire as an art form. She will also share some of the most interesting (and sometimes tragic) personal stories of the artists themselves. Rose Roberto is a cultural historian who researches 19th and 20th-century visual culture and the transnational book trade.
