| The Primary and
Archive collections are rich in satirical works and caricatures.
The Regency period is represented by a particularly fine collection
of hand-coloured etchings by James Gillray and works by caricaturists
including James Sayers and the Dighton family. The Nineteenth
century collection includes sketches by Sir Edwin Landseer and
original caricatures made for the magazine Vanity Fair. Notable
twentieth century cartoonists and illustrators in the collection
include Sir Max Beerbohm, Anthony Wysard, Robert Sherriffs and
Sir Bernard Patridge. The later years of the century are represented
in the Primary collection by the works of Mark Boxer and Sir
Gerald Scarfe. |
