‘This delightful book was left unfinished at Colin Seymour-Ure’s untimely death, and Mark Bryant has done a superb job in bringing it to print. It forms a splendid tribute both to Gould’s champion and the artist himself – who will now surely find many modern admirers.’– Robin Simon, British Art Journal‘A major contribution to our knowledge of British cartooning’ – Lord Baker‘A powerful, illuminating analysis of a forgotten master of political cartooning’ – The Times Literary Supplement'This is a comprehensive study of the art of a long forgotten cartoonist whose current obscurity is definitely undeserved.' – Illustration Magazine
