Wellcome Library Insight: Caricatures and Cartoons

This week’s free Insight session – on Thursday 11th November – explores how caricatures and cartoons have evolved by looking at drawings, paintings and prints from the Wellcome Library.

Our Insight sessions give visitors an opportunity to explore the variety of our holdings. Sessions are thematic in style, last around an hour and offer a chance to learn about our collections from a member of Library staff.

This Thursday’s session starts at 3.00pm, and tickets are available from the Wellcome Collection Information Desk from 1.30pm onwards. For more details, see the Wellcome Collection website.
