Anthropomorphic Animals

Anthropomorphic animals have been a fixture of commercial illustration for well over a century, used to sell wine, promote films, and carry political messages precisely because they let artists say things a human face could not. The tradition runs from 19th-century satirical magazines, where cartoonists gave animals the postures and expressions of politicians, through mid-century advertising and Soviet children's publishing. The period originals here span that full range of formats and purposes.
