Found in our stacks - a copy of the first ever recorded instance of a satirical drawing being labelled as a "cartoon"!
John Leech's "Cartoon, No. 1. Substance and Shadow" from an 1843 issue of Punch magazine permanently gave "cartoon" a new meaning in the English language.

I only met Peter Jewell a few times, but I was charmed by his benign and generous presence, curious and interested in everything and everyone around him.
Such a loss to the world, and especially his friends and family.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Peter Jewell, our Honorary Patron and Principal Donor.
The collection he built with his great friend Bill Douglas is an amazing legacy to leave the world.
Thank you Peter, we are profoundly grateful for your vision, energy and enthusiasm.

Today is the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery & the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Archives - such as the Gale & Morant Family Papers & Plantation Records (EUL MS 44) - can provide powerful evidence of enslavement & the atrocities of the Slave Trade.

Let’s put those just-published domestic violence deaths into comprehensible numbers: 1000 deaths over 3 years is one person murdered almost
