A caricature history of Canadian politics : events from the union of 1841, as illustrated by cartoons from "Grip", and various other sources
A two-volume collection of J. W. Bengough's political cartoons from the Toronto weekly Grip, published in 1886 to narrate Canadian politics since the 1841 union for a general reading public. The pen-and-ink drawings show top-hatted politicians, John Bull and Uncle Sam figures, labelled scrolls and signboards, and crowd scenes, offering caption banners, hatched backdrops and stock allegorical types.
