![]() ![]() Allison Stagg examines printed caricatures that mocked events reported in newspapers and politicians in the United States’ fledgling government, reactions captured in the personal papers of the politicians being satirized, and the lives of the artists who satirized them. Complementing studies on British and European printmaking, this book is a survey and catalogue of all known American political caricatures created in the country’s transformative early years, as the nation sought to define itself in relation to European models of governance and artistry. Prints of a New Kind details the political strategies and scandals that inspired the first generation of American caricaturists to share news and opinions with their audiences in shockingly radical ways. ![]() From Penn State UP and save 30% with code NR23 (see below for details).Īllison Stagg, Prints of a New Kind: Political Caricature in the United States, 1789–1828 (University Park: Penn State University Press, 2023), 266 pages, ISBN: 978-0271093321, $80. ![]()
