The history of caricature dates back to ancient times. It first appeared in the form of satirical illuminations depicting people and events of the period. During the Renaissance, the practice of caricature became more formalized and took the form of more detailed and elaborate illustrations that were meant to be humorous and ridicule their subjects. Caricature continued to evolve into the 19th century, when retouched photographs were used to help produce caricature drawings. By the early 20th century, comics and comic strips became popular forms of caricature, with political cartoons being a particularly popular subset of this genre. Modern technologies have enabled the creation of digital caricatures, which have become popular among the public at various types of events.
