Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book collects the work of celebrated caricaturist and political cartoonist F. C. Gould, originally published in print and periodical form. The book covers the period 1900-1906, the first years of the 20th century, an era of increased tension in Britain over international and domestic policy. Gould was a regular contributor to the Westminster Gazette, his work providing a satirical perspective on a wide range of political figures and events of the time. His cartoons feature many of the leading politicians of the day, including Arthur Balfour, Joseph Chamberlain, and Winston Churchill, as well as evocative depictions of political issues of the time such as China's Boxer uprising, Irish Home Rule, and popular unrest over unemployment and social conditions. It offers a remarkable portrait of a society and political culture in transition, showing the personalities and policies which shaped Britain's national story.
