Abstract

The caricatures drawn for the satirical magazines The Jež (1902-1909), The Škrat (1903-1905) and The Osa (1905-1906) by Gvidon Birolla, Maksim Gaspari, Hinko Smrekar, Fran Tratnik and Miljutin Zarnik, were influenced by the caricatures and illustrations in popular German and Austrian satirical magazines such as the Simplicissimus, Die Muskette, Der wahre Jacob, Der liebe Augustin etc. Just as The Simplicissimus, The Osa also demonstrated an anti-clerical orientation.
