A Survey is a special book filled with funny drawings and pictures called caricatures. It was created by a British writer and artist named Max Beerbohm. The book came out in 1921 in both Britain and the United States.
Max Beerbohm drew these pictures while he was living in Italy. He also drew some when he returned to Britain during World War I. The book was a clever way to make fun of the war and the people involved.
The book itself was published with a plum-colored cloth cover. Inside, it had fifty-two pictures. Most of these were black and white drawings. One picture, on the very first page, was in color. Each drawing had a special paper sheet next to it. This sheet explained what the picture was about.
