This work marks the rediscovery, in the bicentenary of his death in 1798, of a master of the burlesque, the caricaturist Richard Newton. From the age of 14 until his early death at 21, this young Londoner etched a stream of hilarious satires of royalty, politicians, greedy churchmen, actresses and courtesans. Some of the funniest caricatures ever made on the battle of the sexes are those by Newton.
