“By the richness and diversity of geographical areas studied, this unique book, seems absolutely essential.” (Translated from French, Guillaume Doizy, caricatures&caricature, caricaturesetcaricature.com, September, 2016)
“Goldstein organized the 2010 Italian conference that gave rise to these papers, which examine political and legal attempts to curb the ever-proliferating numbers of visual images in journals, broadsheets, posters, and satirical newspapers following the French Revolution. … The bibliography is extensive. … for those interested in governmental attempts to define visual items to censor, regardless of regime, readers will find abundant material. Summing Up: Recommended. All academic levels/libraries.” (M. Deshmukh, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
