This free exhibition at IWM London uncovers how satirical cartoons influenced public perception during Churchill’s lifetime.
5 stars – The Telegraph
Churchill once wrote, ‘I always loved cartoons’, but complained that cartoonists ‘have great power indeed.’
This free exhibition at IWM London marks 150 years since Winston Churchill’s birth, uncovering how satirical cartoons influenced public perception during Churchill’s lifetime, and how they shape our understanding of his role in history today.
Churchill consciously created his own distinctive image. This included his ever-present cigar and wartime ‘V’ sign. These visual props, along with his high-profile and often controversial political career, made him a cartoonist’s dream.
