Histoire de la caricature moderne
Champfleury's 1871 Paris history of modern caricature, published by E. Dentu, is a critical survey of satirical drawing for a general reading public. Its pages are wood-engraved reproductions of caricatures, mostly figures of bourgeois types, shown with exaggerated faces, stooped postures and dry comic gestures. A designer might take from them the economy of line used to convey character through posture and caricatured features.
