From the Publisher
For Georgian Britain, caricatures and cartoons occupied the place of todayıs popular press and television, recording the flow of events, moods, and fashions. Many late Georgian country houses boasted print rooms, where engravings of works by Old Masters were pasted on the walls. But the Caricature Room at Calke Abbey is a very rare example: nearly 150 caricatures can be seen, dating from the 1790s through to the late 1820s. Many are by leading artists of the genre, including Thomas Rowlandson, James, Gillray, and George Cruikshank. In Scenes from Georgian Life, Margaret Willes focuses on 25 of these images, tracing the stories behind them: the activities of the rich and famous, the perils of the latest fashions, traffic jams, scientific fads -- does it all sound familiar?
