This exhibition catalogue gathers one hundred caricatures from the celebrated German satirical weekly Simplicissimus. Selected and commented on by Fritz Arnold, it traces the magazine’s sharply observant visual satire of society, culture and politics in imperial Germany. The selection showcases the bold graphic language, wit and critical edge that made the periodical influential. A rewarding volume for readers interested in caricature, visual culture and German history.
