About this book
Comic writing and art are surveyed in this work by Thomas Wright, with illustrations drawn and engraved by F. W. Fairholt. Wright starts with the comic literature and art of the ancient world, since medieval work grew out of Roman models, then follows the line through the Middle Ages to the satire of modern England. He observes that pictorial caricature and the satirical writing of the Reformation began in Germany and passed into France and England in the early sixteenth century, after which French writing shaped English.
