Summary "Die deutsche Karikatur im 19. Jahrhundert" by Georg Hermann is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide an overview of significant developments in German political and social caricature, as well as humorous drawing throughout the 19th century. It explores how caricature reflects the societal, cultural, and artistic currents of its time, and seeks to articulate the role that such art forms play in historical contexts. The opening of the text outlines Hermann’s intentions for the book, indicating that he aims to acknowledge the evolution of German caricature, focusing on the contributions and changes from various artists. He critiques existing literature on the subject and emphasizes the challenges of comprehensively documenting a field that is constantly shifting due to its reliance on contemporary humor and societal norms. Hermann expresses gratitude to those who contributed to his research, setting the stage for a critical examination of German caricature as a unique form of artistic expression intertwined with the nation’s historical narrative.
