More about the book

Focusing on Sir Francis Carruthers Gould, Britain’s first staff political cartoonist and a pioneering figure in graphic satire, this study delves into his influential career from the Pall Mall Gazette to his later works. Media historian Colin Seymour-Ure offers a personal miscellany rather than a strict biography, highlighting Gould's unique style and his ability to critique politicians like Gladstone and Chamberlain without malice. The book also includes a reprint of Seymour-Ure's seminal essay on cartoonists, marking a significant contribution to the understanding of British cartooning.
