Illustration of small mammal.

This exhibition explores 60 years of turbulence and innovation in Romantic-era Britain (1780-1840) through texts, paintings and artefacts.

Romanticism, Caricature and Politics

The years 1780-1840 are sometimes regarded as the ‘golden age of caricature’. In this illustrated talk, Dr Richard Gaunt, Associate Professor in the Department of History, considers the rough, boisterous sensibilities which caricaturists brought to their craft.

Part of the Romantic Facts and Fantasies exhibition programme.
