Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Caricature en Angleterre
Les faits justifient cette hypoth'se. Si la carica ture proprement dite, la caricature selon Johnson n'apperait pas avant le d'but du XVIII si'cle, le sens caricatural s''veille et s'affirme avec la nationalit' elle - meme. Il n'exploitc pas tous les domaines qui doivent lui appartenir, mais il les d'couvre et les explore. Toutes les vari't's de la caricature, le Moyen Age anglais nous les pr'sente en germe et l''tat d''bauches.
