A talk given by cartoonist Martin Rowson called "Satirical Cartoons: A History" recorded on 25th January 2024 for Gresham College Beginning with the very dawn of satirical images, Rowson looks at cartooning as a means to diminish and contextualise fears whilst also having the power to offend, taking in Swift, Hogarth, Gillray, David Low, Ronald Searle and Rowson's own body of work and touching on the Danish Cartoons scandal and the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
