Erst im 18. Jahrhundert blühte die Karikatur wirklich als Form politischer Kritik auf. In den späten 1750er Jahren begann ein Mann namens Thomas Townshend, die Techniken früherer Graveure anzuwenden und auf ein politisches Modell anzuwenden. Dies verlieh Thompsons Karikaturen ein viel stärkeres Gefühl von Propaganda als frühere künstlerische Kritik der Zeit. Das intensive politische Klima dieser Zeit und der oft anklagende Charakter der meisten politischen Karikaturen zwangen viele Künstler, Pseudonyme zu verwenden, um Verleumdungsvorwürfen aus dem Weg zu gehen. Andere Künstler gingen noch einen Schritt weiter und ließen ihre Karikaturen völlig unsigniert zurück, wobei sie auf jeden Kredit verzichteten, den sie möglicherweise erhalten hatten.
