‘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
