This volume includes example-strips that allow to understand how the Edwardian mindset was expressed in early comics and caricatures.

Tone and moods of the times, and how different social classes were addressed in these papers, is getting quite clear from the following:Chutney the CharmerMaggie the MagpieSammie SnailAdventures of Sammy Sardine and the Tiddler TwinsSilas the SubmarinerThe Little StowawayThe NewlywedsDr. Patent’s AcademyThe Misadventures of Tatcho the SeerSammie the SoothsayerMerry AndrewBilly Smiff’s PiratesBill, Ben, our Bold, Bad BalloonistsSir Walter RaleighThe Duke of DiaboloGussie, the Giddy Ghost.
