Analysis of Caricatures
Henry Lawson 1867 (Grenfell) – 1922 (Sydney)
There are writers great and writers small
And writers on the spree;
And writers short and writers tall,
And bards of low degree.
There are artists small and artist great,
With lines both bold and free –
It takes a Low to illustrate
Us bards of low degree.
