A superb year-by-year history of the past century,as captured in contemporary cartoons and caricatures,featuring works by Britain's finest cartoonists.Cartoons have the astonishing power to encapsulate a historical moment or popular mood,and this magnificent new survey tells the story of modern Britain through hundreds of the finest examples.Year by year,from the death of QueenVictoria to the downfall of Saddam Hussein,it shows the views taken by the nation's leading cartoonists of theissues and personalities that dominated the news - some of worldwide significance (the outbreak of the Second World War,for example),some of major social and political importance (for instance,the rise of the Suffragettes),somereflecting more parochial obsessions (football,bad traffic and the curse of the mobile phone). Occasionally they show anation united,but more often they reveal where battle-lines have been drawn,whether they're cartoons supporting or attacking appeasement,trade unions,the EU or contraception,or seeking to praise or bury Winston Churchill,Margaret Thatcher,Tony Blair or the Royal family. A number of the cartoons shown here have achieved iconic status such as David Low's savage attacks on Hitler and Steve Bell's portrayal of John Major with his pants over his trousers.The majority,however, have not seen the light of day since they were first published,and quite a few are shown here for the first time,having been rejected or censored by contemporary newspapers.Together they offer fascinating,revealing - and often very funny - snapshot views of Britain over the course of a tumultuous century.
