Sebastian Bach: Cartoons and Caricatures
Johann Sebastian Bach has been the inspiration for numerous cartoons and
caricatures. This page of designed to be an archive of them.
First, my all time favorite, a cartoon by Handelsman that appeared in the now long
defunct Saturday Review in the late 1960s:
I have long regretted that I did not take advantage of the opportunity to buy the
original. I cannot help but wonder if Mr. Handelsman still has it, and how I could
track him down to ask. If any of you knows, please send me an e-mail!
Another favorite comes from Is It Anyone We Know?, a collection of cartoons
drawn by the late, great George Price that was published in 1940. Of course, you
have to remember the 78 RPM era to fully appreciate this one!
