INTRODUCTIONOLITICAL CARICATURE, like the newspaper press, is a compara-tively recent method for the expression <>l' opinion and criticism, thoughit antedates the modern newspaper which reviews in editorials the

actions of those in power. Its earliest legitimate forms may he seen

in the famous folio volume of the caricatures of James Gillray, the English artist,

who devoted his genius to castigating the social and political evils of his time

and holding up to ridicule the foibles and habits of the then reigning Hanoverianfamily. Horn in 1757, he early evinced a remarkable artistic ability, bul it wasnot until 1780 that Gillray interested himself in politics chiefly: and. although,

he ceased to work after 1810, he had achieved, long before that lime, an enormouspopularity through the terrible power of his scathing and even ruthless wit. His

coarseness of satiric expression, however, removes him altogether from the cari-

cature artists of our day.

In 1830, .John Doyle, the father of Richard Doyle the celebrated artist of

'Punch." began to issue his long series of political cartoons, under the signature.

"II. B." These consisted mainly of satirical portraits of contemporary English

celebrities of the political world, whose conduct in the affairs of state called for

censure and animadversion. They made a great sensation at the time, but they

are not now very highly esteemed either for their historical interest or artistic value.

Doyle, however, was really the founder of the modern school of caricature art, and

it is due to his influence and the establishment, in 1841, of the English comic

weekly, "Punch," that the art was cultivated and exploited in the United States.

Doyle ditt'cred from (iillray in that he reproduced the exact portraits of the

people he caricatured, and this method was followed by the American artists who,

in the late forties of the nineteenth century, initiated their special branch of the

art. Doyle's drawings were reproduced by lithography, and the American pub-

lishers employed the same method of printing. Messrs. Currier & Ives of NewYork began to issue their famous lithographic sheets in 1848, the year of Taylor's

election. These sheets are now very rare.

The caricatures reproduced in this volume date from 1856, and include the

most important of those which were issued between that year and 1872. All

have been photographed direct from the originals in the possession of a collector.

The earliest deal with the Fillmore campaign, and were drawn by Louis Maurer.

These are followed by the caricatures of the Buchanan and Douglas campaign,

the Jackson election, and those inspired by the Abolition Movement in which

Lincoln played so important a part. The War of the Secession received its share

of satiric treatment, and a number of the sheets it called forth are given here.

several depicting personal encounters between Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson

Davis. The political conditions which were precipitated as the aftermath of the

Civil War. and especially the rancorous relations which marked the attitude of

the Republican and Democratic parties towards each other, are pictured here in

a number of drawings revealing a humor which i>. perhaps, too raw for our more

cultivated tastes.

This collection is. unquestionably, of permanent historical value and of more

than passing interest. Our ancestors had a rough and ready way with them of

expressing their likes and dislikes, especially in the heal of electoral campaigns;

but they said what they honestly thought; and il is this sincerity of expression

which so appeals to us. despite its lack of artistic finish and even crude vulgarity.

As draughtsmen, the artists of these caricatures were no! of the most accomplished

order, but there is no mistaking their intention, nor are we left in any doubt as

to the identities of the individuals satirized, nor the meaning of the moral they

desired to convey.

To avoid any misapprehension as to either one or the other, they printed the

names below the portraits, and used loops, inscribed with the words of the speakers,

and issuing from their mouths. Modern art has improved on this naive and

direct method; but if it has gained in power of suggestion, it does not evince a

more vigorous power of trenchant criticism, nor does it display the almost terri-

ble freedom of satiric humor which is the interesting characteristic of early

American caricature art.

With the advent of the illustrated newspaper and the comic weekly, the day

of the lithographed sheets was over. The former took the place of the latter,

and the work achieved by Thomas Nast and Joseph Keppler remains today

among the distinguished achievements in the sphere of pictorial satire. None

the less, however, the cartoons of the earlier period will continue to hold their

interest and value both to the historian and the student of the social develop-

iiHiil of the United States.
