This book examines the entwined and simultaneous rise of graphic
satire and cultures of paper money in late eighteenth- and early
nineteenth-century Britain. Asking how Britons learned to value
both graphic art and money, the book makes surprising connections
between these two types of engraved images that grew in popularity
and influence during this time. Graphic satire grew in visual
risk-taking along, while paper money became a more standard carrier
of financial value, courting controversy as a medium, moral
problem, and factor in inflation. Through analysis of satirical
prints, as well as case studies of monetary satires beyond London,
this book demonstrates several key ways that cultures attach value
to printed paper, accepting it as social reality and institutional
fact. Thus, satirical banknotes were objects that broke down the
distinction between paper money and graphic satire altogether.
