Cartooning China: Punch, Power, and Politics in the Victorian Era.

The research on display here is sober and systematic, introducing in detail what I Punch i was, how it was run, and how China was depicted in its "large cut" cartoons; from what I have seen, a study of its smaller scale imagery would simply reinforce the conclusions established. But it is possible to go further: this book deserves a readership far beyond the academic world of studying China; read this book, and one will readily see the Chinese phrase "A Century of Humiliation" in a completely new light.
