Attwood's pictures : an artists's history of the last ten years of the nineteenth century
A posthumous collection of Francis Gilbert Attwood's monthly cartoon pages drawn for Life magazine in New York through the 1890s, gathering a decade of American political and social caricature for the magazine's readers. Each plate is a pen-and-ink montage of small captioned vignettes scattered on open white space \u2014 top-hatted politicians, Uncle Sam, flags, banners and dated headings \u2014 giving designers spot figures, hand-lettered labels and ready-made page layouts.
