  1. Debesh Misra –

    Eye-opening! This book showcases how political cartoons shaped opinions of China in the Victorian era. A bit academic, but very informative.

  2. Abhay Singh –

    A well-researched study. The analysis of Punch’s cartoons is insightful, but the writing could be more engaging. Still a worthwhile read.

  3. Kumar Kartikeya –

    A fascinating, if unsettling, look at historical biases. The book provides valuable context for understanding historical perceptions. Some images were disturbing.

  4. Subhojit Saha –

    Good scholarly work, but not for casual reading. The book dives deep into the subject matter. Some prior knowledge of history is helpful.

  5. Dibyendu Bose –

    A compelling study of a specific period. The author presents a thoughtful analysis of the role of political cartoons.

  6. Saptarshi Jana –

    An academic approach to the subject. Though informative, it could be made more accessible to the general public. The visuals were impactful.

  7. Rohit Sharma –

    Provides a unique lens into Sino-British relations. I found the book to be informative and insightful. A bit dry, but overall a worthwhile read.

  8. Manasi Prabhakar Bele –

    This is a detailed and insightful exploration of British perceptions of China. It’s an interesting book, but the language is very academic.

  9. Abhinandan Singh –

    A must-read for those interested in Chinese or Victorian history. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the cartoons. It is great!

  10. Sanvi Saxena –

    Important, yet uncomfortable. “Cartooning China” reveals much about the racism of the time. It could be triggering for some readers.

  11. Abhishek Gargvansi –

    Interesting perspective on Victorian attitudes. Some cartoons are shocking by today’s standards. A good resource, but a bit dense at times.
