"The Inking Woman" Exhibition at the Cartoon Museum

From Cartoon Museum.

An exhibition of British women cartoon and comic artists will take place at the Cartoon Museum in London.

This exhibition of over 80 diverse artists follows the evolution of British women artists as satirists, humorists and storytellers. Many combine all three talents and have produced work in a variety of forms. In recent years the rise of small press and the graphic novel has seen an increasing number of women appear in print.

• Mary Darly [fl. 1760-1781] print seller, artist and author of Principles of Caricatura (1762) the first book on the art of caricature.
