The art, practice, or technique of creating caricatures, or a collection or study of caricatures as a body of work.
Combining 'caricare' from Italian meaning to exaggerate with Greek 'graphia' (writing/description). This term became standardized in the 19th century to describe both the artistic practice and the critical study of caricature as a distinct artistic tradition.
Caricography became a respected art form precisely when democracy was rising—because nothing threatens power like a well-drawn joke about a politician's nose!
