Ireland Under the Georgian Cartoonists. Exhibition by the University Philosophical Society, Trinity College, Dublin In Conjunction with the Dublin Arts Festival 1973. Introduction by Nick Robinson. Pp 8. Pictorial card wrappers. Stain to lower cover, otherwise a very good copy.

Catalogue of an exhibition of satirical cartoons held in the New Library of Trinity College Dublin, in February & March of 1973. It features 126 items listed chronologically from 1724 to 1828 along with titles & brief descriptions.

Ireland had a prominent presence in British pictorial satires. Two events proved particularly fruitful in this context: the Union, which followed the Irish Rebellion of 1798, and the debates about the Catholic Question during the 1820s. The introduction is by Nick Robinson, author, historian, solicitor and cartoonist, who for a time in the 1970s was a cartoonist with The Irish Times.
