As the analysis carried out in the article shows, Samoilov reflected and began to use actively the potential of the caricature’s verbal component in its interaction with the graphic plan, which ensured a high level of his satirical graphics and became its hallmark.Alexander DanilevskyRussian Academy of Sciences.
