From Leonardo's drawings of grotesque heads to contemporary prints lampooning American politicians, the Metropolitan Museum has a vast and largely unknown collection of caricatures and satirical works. This handsome volume offers 160 examples dating from about 1500 to the present - many of them previously unpublished - that reflect the age-old tradition of employing exaggeration and humour to convey personal, social, or political meaning. Constance C. McPhee is associate curator and Nadine M. Orenstein is curator, both in the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
