Transcriber’s Notes

Cover created by Transcriber, using the original cover (which contained only the artist’s signature) and one of the inside Title pages. The result remains in the Public Domain.

This eBook has no Table of Contents, but all of the cartoons are listed in the Index at the end.

Most of the cartoons contain names and comments that are in small print. These are important to understanding the satirical points being made, so all of the political cartoons are larger than normal. Clicking (or right-clicking) on any political cartoon will display a larger, more detailed version of it, making some of the smaller text within the cartoon more legible. Most browsers will let you zoom in to see the images full-size or oversize.

Other notes will be found at the end of this eBook.
