Nast's First Caricature - John Bull

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

In January of 1863, Harper’s Weekly published Nast’s first caricature cartoon - a boy frightening John Bull with the cry of “Here Comes General Butler!” - the latter having been denounced as “a brute” by the London Times. The picture was good enough but it gave no promise of the power and style which would make his individual caricature famous.
