James Gillray / / by Harry Thornber.
A 1890 monograph on the caricaturist James Gillray by Harry Thornber, published in Manchester by John Heywood, with plates reproducing Gillray's satirical prints for readers of English pictorial wit. The four pages shown are reproductions of etched political caricatures, several printed sideways on the page. A designer might take their crowded, dense hatching and exaggerated grotesque faces as a model for hand-etched satire.
