This book serves as a retrieval and reevaluation of a rich haul of
comic caricatures from the turbulent years between the Reform Bill
crisis of the early 1830s and the rise and fall of Chartism in the
1840s. With a telling selection of illustrations, this book deploys
the techniques of close reading and political contextualization to
demonstrate the aesthetic and ideological clout of a neglected
tranche of satirical prints and periodicals dismissed as
ineffectual by historians or distasteful by contemporaries. The
prime exhibits are the work of Robert Seymour and C.J. Grant giving
acerbic comic edge to the case for reform against class and state
oppression and the excesses of the monarchical regime under the
young Queen Victoria.
