    ‘Caricature; the Funny Side of Politics’
    By Margaret O’Carroll

    Although the direction of Cumann na nGaedheal’s election campaign of 1932 was attributed to the O’Kennedy Brindley Advertising Agency, a series of seven election posters featuring satirical caricatures of Eamon de Valera were printed by McConnell’s Advertising Service. This talk examines these posters, their use of caricature and how they can provide an alternate discourse of Irish national identity.

    Margaret O’Carroll returned from Australia and a career in marketing during the late 1990’s and later pursued a lifelong interest in graphic design by returning to education. She is completing her final year of a BA in Visual Communications through Waterford Institute of Technology.
