The UK\u2019s greatest political cartoonist, Martin Rowson has been lampooning the good, the great and the downright scurrilous in the pages of award-winning\u00a0Index on Censorship magazine since 2001, and is a regular contributor to the Guardian and the Independent On Sunday. From Tony Blair and obscenity to\u00a0Twitter and super-injunctions, Rowson\u2019s satirical series is an unparalleled commentary on the highs and lows for freedom of expression over the past ten years.<\/p>\n

This is a rare opportunity to buy an original Rowson cartoon and support the work of Index on Censorship in the fight for freedom of expression.<\/p>\n

The auction will be hosted by Radio 4’s Laurie Taylor. There will be a drinks reception for guests.<\/p>\n
