Analýza politickej a sociálnej karikatúry v časopisoch Rarášek a Ježibaba v období rokov 1870 – 1872
An analysis of the political and social caricatures in the magazines Rarášek and Ježibaba in the period 1870–1872

Summary/Abstract: Nineteenth century Slovak caricatures come from a wide range of political positions. The magazines Ježibaba supporting the Slovak New School and Rarášek belonging to the Slovak National Party were the most important representatives of political and social humour in the years 1870–1872. They had different approaches to drawing caricatures and their thematic starting points, by which both participated in shaping the political thought of the period. The intense aggressiveness of the drawings in Ježibaba may be seen as a demonstration of the political effort of the New School to establish a new political orientation. On the other hand, the artistically more conservative Rarášek opened social themes and brought systematic effort to the work of political journalism.
