MEN OF WORCESTER IN CARICATURE (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Men of Worcester in CaricatureIn his minds eye. Some believe, apparently, a caricature is nothing more than a reckless and exaggerated expression of ones follies or foibles, but the truth of the matter is a caricature is a real likeness of the object caricatured - a likeness that is true to the caricaturist at least. Looking into a mans face the cartoonist is able, as is no other, to see lines that are not there. In other words he sees into and through his subject and translates that which he sees into lines, character lines, light and heavy, into curves or angles, into love or life. Personalities that may be unknown to you, but which live and breathe and have their being in the imagination of the cartoonist, are shown on these pages. With pen and ink the caricaturist has transmitted from the image left upon his brain the likeness of his different subjects, men who have made their mark in the business and professional world, some serving their country, state and city at present, others having filled these same offices of trust and honor. He has whipped into their faces and forms touches that mark their personalities, called peculiarities, and rightfully, for a peculiarity is ones own. This book of cari catures gives to the men pictured an idea of themselves as they are to the cartoonist. Their play and pleasure earned through busy brains are shown to others. The artist has endeavored to make this work meaningful as well as amusing. He knows no hate, venom is not mixed with his ink, nor has his pen been shaped into a dagger with which to pierce the sensibilities of his subjects.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
