This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... INTRODUCTION PICTORIAL SATIRE AS A FACTOR IN NAPOLEONIC HISTORY E; est le propre de l'homme," says Rabelais; and the history of literature and of art bears witness to the truth of the assertion. The earliest known forms of art are so grotesquely imitative as to suggest a sense of fun in the cave-dwellers. Primitive poetry also often descended from the doings of gods and heroes to sport with dwarfs or gnomes. In either case the motive is at bottom much the same. Man has always delighted in gibes and jests. The dullness of the cave or the lake-dwelling must be enlivened with jokes either in verse or in drawing. Thus can the chief, merry with ale, while away the long evening and live over again amidst his women-folk the joys of triumph over his defeated and disgraced rival. Mocking doggerel and mocking sketches, we may be sure, are as old as the race. They added zest to the efforts of the early bards. Possibly they are the fountain-head of art. It is therefore with something primitive, innate, and almost savage that we are concerned in these volumes. Caricature has always existed and will always exist, for it is the laughter of art. Milton in his gayer moods could in spirit hie away-- "to the spicy nut-brown ale With stories told of many a feat How Faery Mab the junkets eat. VOL. I. xvil b She was pinched and pulled, she said; And he, by Friar's lantern led, Tells how the drudging goblin sweat To earn his cream-bowl duly set." If the grave Puritan poet could delight in "Sport that wrinkled care derides And laughter holding both his sides," how much more so beings akin to Aristophanes, Plautus, Rabelais, and Calverley? Some artists there are who must sometimes sport even with the most serious subject --witness Holbein's Dance of Death. But...

English Caricature and Satire on Napoleon I Vol.2 (of 2) (Illustrations) by John Ashton Pdf
This book is not intended to be a History of Napoleon the First, but simply to reproduce the bulk of the Caricatures and Satires published in England on our great enemy, with as much of history as may help to elucidate them. The majority of the caricatures are humorous; others are silly, or spiteful—as will occasionally happen nowadays; and some are too coarse for reproduction—so that a careful selection has had to be made. Gillray and Rowlandson generally signed their names to the work of their hands; but, wherever a caricature occurs unsigned by the artist, I have attributed it, on the authority of the late Edward Hawkins, Esq., some time Keeper of the Prints at the British Museum, to whatever artist he has assigned it. I have personally inspected every engraving herein described, and the description is entirely my own. Should there, by chance, be an occasional discrepancy as to a date, it has been occasioned by the inconceivable contradictions which occur in different histories and newspapers. To cite an instance: in three different books are given three different dates of Napoleon leaving Elba, andvi it was only by the knowledge that it occurred on a Sunday, and by consulting an almanac for the year 1815, that I was able absolutely to determine it. The frontispiece is taken from a very rare print, and gives a novel view of Napoleon to us, who are always accustomed to see him represented in military uniform. That my readers may find some instruction, mingled with the amusement I have provided for them, is the earnest wish of
