Caricatural Aspects of Gura Satului Satirical Magazine (1867-1881; 1901-1903)
The present article aims at making a short presentation of the satirical magazine entitled Gura Satului (1867-1881, 1901-1903), placing emphasis on its caricatural side, as this type of drawing is constantly present in its pages. The paper presents the life of this magazine, pointing out its collaborators, themes and columns and then stopping over certain concrete examples of caricatures, from various numbers, which are analysed in terms of the message that they send to the readers. Representative of the satirical journalism of the second half of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Gura Satului stands out as a publication that deserves special attention due to the militant role that it held within the satirical press of the time.
