Politics have long been a favored topic in the press, conveyed through satirical treatments as well as much more ostensibly neutral confirming. The division’s British Toons (10,000 styles, 1621-1832) include visual commentaries on the developing American political consciousness. Women appear in the prints, generally as symbols. Identifying the degree of their rendering is difficult, however, due to limited subject access to the collection.
Further information in regards to the hand drawn cartoons can be found in the “About This Collection” information in the Prints and photos Online Catalog.
Looking the Collection
Many photos for which copies are already produced can be looked in the Prints and photos Online Catalog, the place that the collection has its own itemizing, “Cartoon Prints, British.” Scanned images accompany most online records.
The entire collection is listed in a combination of published along with unpublished finding aids:
The publication Brochure of Prints and also Drawings in the British Museum: Division We. of Political and private Satires [catalog record] lists prints found in the British Museum selections. Prints and Photographs (P&P) staff have annotated the division’s replicate of this multi-volume, chronologically arranged list to indicate which images are held by simply P&P. There is some limited subject indexing pertaining to prints dating in between 1771 and 1832.
An unpublished finding aid, “British Toons Owned by P&P Not Listed in BMC” enumerates the prints within P&P holdings that are not found in the over publication. This unpublished checklist is in a couple of volumes: vol. 1: Undated characters, listed by title; vol. 2: Dated toons, listed chronologically.
A greeting card catalog in the Designs and Photographs Reading Room indexes the part of the collection not based in the British Museum, together with listings by title, artist, printseller and writer.
