UPDATED: British Cartoon Archive publications

I've (somehow!) never actually been to the British Cartoon Archive (more detail on its history here ) or (until very recently anyway) never owned any of its publications.

The EH Shephard catalogue was recently gifted to me by friend of the blog Eamonn Clarke (check out the essential listening podcast that is Mega City Book Club here) and it inspired to start looking into what other publications they've produced over the years.

This is surely a very incomplete list but you've got to start somewhere! Any further example would be very welcome.

Two new additions to the listing for this post...
Stabbed in the Front: Post-war General Elections  Through Political Cartoons, by Alan Mumford, published in 2001

Published by the University of Kent at Canterbury showcasing many of the exhibits from the Centre for the Study of Cartoons and Caricature that were put together for a touring exhibition around the UK and part of France. Bi-lingual publication from 1992.


Two new additions to the listing for this post...
Getting Them in Line: An Exhibition of Caricature in Cartoon opened on Friday 31st October 1975 to mark the inauguration of the Centre for the Study of Cartoons and Caricature, published by University of Kent at Canterbury in 1975.
