About the book
"What did it mean to be a woman working in the man's world of cartooning? Marie Duval was a unique, pioneering, innovative, and highly entertaining visual journalist, cartoonist, and illustrator whose work appeared in serial magazines and books at a time when the identity of the artist, in Victorian England, was in radical flux. This entertaining visual account of the work of Duval explores key aspects of Victorian mass leisure industry, such as tourism, day-tripping, fashion, the theatre, art and the 'season.' Placing Duval in the visual context of the emerging profession of visual journalism, it offers an enticing glimpse of the exciting, strange and world-changing media environment of London in the last part of the nineteenth century."
