About

An exhibition at The Cartoon Museum celebrates the art of portrait caricature. It traces the form from its origins in Renaissance Italy to its outrageous Golden Age in 18th-century England and its popularity today. The museum presents the caricaturist as a provocative, insightful and rude figure who hilariously reflects the society we live in, who we vote for, and the personalities we celebrate. The exhibition is made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery players.
