Introduction Places Life in Canada Print Cabinet
Satirical and political prints were first popularized in the 1700s, particularly in England where they were produced in great numbers. These have always been a favourite of print collectors, who value their cutting caricatures and sharp wit. The events they refer to are often obscure to the modern viewer, but the messages retain their satirical edge.
