Guided tour: ‘Monsters and Machines: Caricature, Visual Satire and the Twentieth-Century Bestiary’
A 30-minute guided tour of the latest Princeton University Library (PUL) exhibition examining the global use of bestiary – animal or zoological motifs – in visual satire during the period between World War I and the end of the Cold War. Drawing from PUL’s rich collections of 20th-century posters, illustrated periodicals and ephemera from North America, Europe, Asia, Eurasia and the Middle East, the exhibition will look at works of weaponized visual humor created by and aimed at exponents of different national cultures and ideologies. The exhibition will be on view until December 8.
Tours meet in the lobby of Firestone Library.
