“Thoroughly engaging with a well-crafted narrative, Prints of a New Kind is a long-awaited study filling a significant void in the history of American print culture. Allison Stagg sets the stage for a modern and popularized notion of political satire. This elegantly written book, lavishly illustrated, places the American tradition of caricature as separate from its European origins, with its own merits and history worthy of detailed examination.” —Nancy Siegel, author of Along the Juniata: Thomas Cole and the Dissemination of American Landscape Imagery “Prints of a New Kind contributes fresh awareness and understanding of early US political caricature from an art historical perspective. By doggedly tracing the locations of early caricatures in numerous archives on both sides of the Atlantic, Stagg has uncovered previously unknown examples and made new discoveries about the making and circulation of political caricatures in the early American Republic.” —Nan Wolverton, Vice President for Programs and Director of Fellowships, American Antiquarian Society
