Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from England Under the House of Hanover, Vol. 1 of 2: Its History and Condition During the Reigns of the Three Georges, Illustrated From the Caricatures and Satires of the Day The application of song, and satire, and picture, to politics, is a thing of no modern date; for we trace it more or less among every people with whose history we have much acquaintance. Caricatures and songs have been found in Egyptian tombs. The song and the lampoon were the constant attendants on, and incentives in, those incessant political struggles which, during the middle ages, were preparing for the formation of modern society; and many an old manuscript and sculptured block, whether of wood or stone, show that our forefathers in the middle ages understood well the permanent force of pictorial satire. But it is more especially in religious matters that the middle ages, like antiquity, have shown a full perception of the importance of appealing through the eye to the hearts of the masses. In the rapid and temporary movements of political strife, this weapon could not be adopted with much effect until after the invention of printing, when, by a quick process, pictures engraved could be multiplied indefinitely.
