General political satire, 1785 - 2014
Scope and Contents
Includes caricatures and political cartoons. Most concern Irish politics and Irish politicians, with a special emphasis on Eamon De Valera, and the relationship between Ireland and Great Britian. An exception is the political cartoons by Peter Schrank, whose topics are generally American and world politics, with a particular focus on American President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq. Shrank's cartoons appear to have been grouped with the Irish collections by Anthony Mourek because they were published in the Dublin Sunday Business Post.
