By tracing the development of caricatures and illustrated weeklies across Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto, the work reveals how local artists and commentators deployed humour and biting irony to navigate contemporary political ethics. The volume serves as a vivid visual record of a nation grappling with linguistic divides, societal reform, and the encroaching cross-currents of xenophobia and fascism that defined the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55636076003667,"sku":"6521","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261021_143628.jpg?v=1793132196","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/sketches-from-an-unquiet-country-canadian-graphic-satire-1840-1940","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
