Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Eighteenth Century in English Caricature The word Caricature does not lend itself easily to precise definition. Etymologically it connects itself with the Italian caricare, to load or charge, thus corresponding precisely in derivation with its French equivalent Charge; and - save a yet earlier reference in Sir Thomas Browne - it first appears, as far as I am aware, in that phrase of No. 537 of the Spectator, "Those burlesque pictures which the Italians call caracaturas." Putting the dry bones of etymology from our thought the essence, the life-blood of the thing itself, is surely this - the human creature´s amusement with itself and its environment, and its expression of that amusement through the medium of the plastic arts.
