Caricatures and Cartoons

A Wellcome Library 'Insights' session

Thursday 17 September, 15.00-16.00

Caricatures and cartoons are Italian words, but from their origins in Italy both genres have developed new meanings in other countries. This talk traces their development from Leonardo da Vinci to Gerald Scarfe through the international collection of drawings, paintings and prints in the Wellcome Library.
