“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* details the political strategies and scandals that
inspired the first generation of American caricaturists to share news and
opinions with their audiences in shockingly radical ways. Complementing
studies on British and European printmaking, this book is a survey and
catalogue of all known American political caricatures created in the
country’s transformative early years, as the nation sought to define itself
in relation to European models of governance and artistry.

Allison Stagg examines printed caricatures that mocked events reported in
newspapers and politicians in the United States’ fledgling government,
reactions captured in the personal papers of the politicians being
satirized, and the lives of the artists who satirized them. Stagg’s work
fills a large gap in early American scholarship, one that has escaped
thorough art-historical attention because of the rarity of extant images
and the lack of understanding of how these images fit into their political
context.

Featuring 125 images, many published here for the first time since their
original appearance, and a comprehensive appendix that includes a checklist
of caricature prints with dates, titles, artists, references, and other
essential information, *Prints of a New Kind *will be welcomed by scholars
and students of early American history and art history as well as visual,
material, and print culture.
