The Cartoon Century | |||

| Published Price £20.00 | Our Price £9.99 | |||
| In the words of Timothy Benson, a political cartoon is 'a visual essay that sums up complicated events or situations in a few, simple, sketched black lines': this volume demonstrates the range and quality of such cartoons over the last century. It also offers a pictorial history of Britain, from a French view of 'La Perfide Albion' grabbing the world in 1900 to Blair and Bush crooning 'we did it our way' in Peter Shrank's comment on the military campaign in Iraq in 2006. | ||||
