Looking forward to this title coming from The MIT Press, in May of 2026, Alan Dunn: The Cartoonist As Architectural Critic by Gabriele Neri. No cover yet, but you can read a bunch about this title here.
Text from the publisher:
“Featuring 200 carefully selected images, including Dunn’s correspondence, preliminary sketches, unpublished cartoons, watercolors, and rare photographs, this book demonstrates the critical potential of caricature and cartoons for architectural history. It also reveals the complex intersections of architecture with media, publishing, commerce, society, art, and politics.”
