You may have noticed that I use many Gilray cartoons to illustrate my regency writing. There are several reasons for this, but mostly because he’s funny, to the point, and full of little details.
There’s a more recent English cartoonist, Giles (Carl Giles), who wrote for the Daily express from 1945 to 1991. The express paid better than the papers which aligned better with his political beliefs, which must have led to some interesting tensions.
I’m going to stick to fair use and only put up a couple examples, but they’re a modern example that is in the same spirit as Gilray’s work.
By the way, I love Grandma.
Many of the cartoons skewer politicians.
The English are very proud of their gardens.
Cuddles and hugs all around.
