The Nelson Dispatch Summer 2016

This little volume is unique in focusing on the specific theme of naval caricatures across the period. As a result it comprises an important, extended scholarly essay on the subject with more than 80 fully identified colour illustrations.

Mariner's Mirror

Beautifully reproduced with detailed commentary. Extremely well-written and a most entertaining book. I can highly recommend.

South West Soundings

Contains cartoons from the collection of the National Maritime Museum. Well presented in colour, they fall into two broad catergories: Swipes at the political establishment and ribald depictions of the drunken sailor and his effete officers. While some of the cartoons are familiar, there are also many that are being published for the first time. There is also an apposite and well-written text to explain the contemporary context.

Warships International Fleet Review

Characteristic of this series, and many titles from this publisher, is the marriage of lavish high quality illustration with authoritative text. The work is beautifully illustrated thoughout, using well-known and previously unseen prints from the National Maritime Museum's collection. This is a lively and enjoyable book on so many levels. It deserves great success.
