The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich on Caricature and the Navy During the 18th Century on the 16th of August.




This course will explore the political and cultural history of the Navy through the lens of contemporary caricature, encompassing the Seven Years War, the American War of Independence and the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France. In doing so, it will highlight the historical and continuing contemporary relevance of political caricature and graphic satire.

The course will be led by Dr James Davey, Research Curator in Naval and Maritime History and Dr Richard Johns, Curator of Prints and Drawings at the National Maritime Museum and costs £55. Further details can be found here.
