A study of political caricature as a form of criticism of France's governmental policies and the censorship imposed on caricature during the 19th century. The continuation of censorship of political drawings long after the lifting of similar restrictions for the printed word reflected the enormous fear which caricatures evoked among governmental elites. Profusely illustrated. Paper edition (unseen), $18.50. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
