HUMOUR, SATIRE, ART
“A beautiful quarto page where a neat rivulet of text shall meander through a meadow of margin.”
Sheridan, School for Scandal, Act 1, Sc. 1.
These drawings constitute a “John Bull” series, and, though their satire is directed against political situations and national characteristics rather than personal frailties, they yet retain that quality of mordant criticism that is so prominent a feature of this well-known artist’s work.
