Excerpt from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires, Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, Vol. 10: 1820-1827 Satires Dr. Dorothy George has reached the penultimate stage of her task and the year 1827. One further volume will bring the Catalogue down to 1832 and the passing of the Reform Bill, Which has been fixed as the limit of the work. This date marks not only the end of an historical era, but also the Virtual end of the type of political caricature Which has formed the bulk of the material catalogued in this and the preceding volumes. The scurrility and bitter personal invective of the age of Rowlandson and Gillray finally disappear and are replaced by the gentlemanly irony of H. B. And his imitators. Nor after 1832 does the material in the Department provide the continuous picture of political and social life Which it had done hitherto and Which made the elaborate treatment it has received in these volumes so valuable.
