Abstract EN

The image has witnessed a presence since ancient times, since the beginnings of the art of painting, in the mountainous regions of northern Spain and the Sahara Desert, and the drawings it contains from Tassili and other caves whose walls bear details of the first human life through simple drawings that are symbolic and extravagant in detail and accuracy at another time.

The research paper highlights the importance of caricatures as an archive document and a source of information, by focusing on their unique characteristics, which requires the use of technical methods of processing, description, indexing and objective analysis imposed by their complex nature that bears the characteristics of simulating reality and decisive paradox.

The paper also monitors random samples of the global and Arab history of caricature, which brought with it changes in the political and social conditions for that period of time.
