Origins and History
Caricature artworks have been around since the Middle Ages, but it wasn’t until the 18th century that they became popular as a form of social commentary. Artists such as William Hogarth and James Gillray were pioneers in the field, creating biting satirical works that lampooned the political and social issues of their time. The 19th century saw the rise of the "golden age" of caricature, with artists like Honoré Daumier and Thomas Nast producing influential works that commented on everything from corruption in politics to the dangers of industrialization.
