“In my youth I hoped for no higher status in life than to be among those who would follow in the wake of Thomas Nast, Joseph Keppler, and Bernard Gillam, outstanding artists in the field of political caricature. And when in my early twenties I grew familiar with the political and social satires of the graphic artists of England and France across two centuries, these gave even greater stimulus to my ambition. Dreamily I anticipated that my destiny was to succeed as a caricaturist of some influence in public affairs.” EnglandFrancePolitical CartoonsPolitical CartoonistsCaricatureJoseph KepplerThomas Nast Book:Art Young: His Life and Times Source: Art Young: His Life and Times
