Marie Duval was one of the most unusual, pioneering and boisterous cartoonists of the nineteenth century. This archive offers for scrutiny high resolution scans of as much of Duval’s published work as possible, organised according to date and details of publication.
The archive consists of newly commissioned high-resolution scans that can be zoomed. The scope of the Search, List and Browse functions offered by the site is outlined on the Search page, along with a Search rationale and rationales for the inclusion or exclusion from the archive of unsigned work and reprints.
The archive is a work in progress. A handful of known items are yet to be included and are listed with sources. However, all of Duval’s work in Judy magazine (full name: Judy or the London serio-comic journal ) is included, because this is where she was primarily employed, and where she made her reputation. This work numbers almost 950 items.
