Excerpt from Theatrical Caricatures: Being Twelve PlatesF it were the intention of this introduction to trace the story of caricature back through the middle ages to its primal origin, as some claim, on the papyri of the Egyptians, it would lose much of the brevity that has been planned for it and serve but little pur pose. For those who want a history of caricature there are numberless Encyclopedias of art. This little foreword is merely to introduce the twelve caricatures that form the chief interest of this publication of the Dunlap Society, and to give their short history as it is known to me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
