| Summary | "Caricature and Other Comic Art in All Times and Many Lands" by James Parton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the evolution and significance of caricature and comic art across various cultures and time periods, highlighting its role in satire and societal commentary. The opening portion introduces the diverse types of caricatures found in antiquity, specifically emphasizing examples from the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, and Hindoos. It discusses how caricature has served as a humorous yet insightful reflection of human life and societal norms, illustrated by ancient wall drawings from Pompeii, Greek pottery, and depictions of gods and mortals engaging in absurd situations. The author aims to showcase that humor is a timeless element of human expression, presenting both a historical and artistic perspective on caricature's role across different civilizations.
