Explore the Oldest Comic in the Modern World -
Made right here in Glasgow, Scotland. The Glasgow Looking Glass gives an insightful peak into life of the early 1800s in Britain.

A social satire that poked fun at many people and ways of life, from politics to fashion. It covered news topics from all over Scotland with sketches and illustrations printed by a lithograph press.

The art is fine and spectacular and well worth a look for yourself.
