EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Caricature, 1642" takes us back in time to the early days of journalism and newspapers. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into the world of pictorial press during its origins. The image showcases a humorous caricature that was originally published as an illustration for Mason Jackson's book, "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress". With meticulous digital cleaning, this print allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the woodcut technique used to create it. Intriguingly, this artwork captures both the essence and wit of early journalism. The exaggerated features and comical expressions on each character's face bring forth a sense of satire that was often employed in these types of illustrations. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists were using their talents to comment on societal issues through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this historical piece from a private collection, we are transported back to a time when newspapers were illustrated with woodcuts like these. This print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides valuable insight into how journalism has evolved over time.
