There are many caricatures of Russian writers in libraries and museums, state archives and private collections. The purpose of this article was to identify, compile and systematize published and unpublished satirical images of F.V. Bulgarin - one of the founders of the trading journalism in Russia. The author of this article revealed more than 30 caricatures in Bulgarin's lifetime in archives, periodicals, memoirs (-on appearance and conceit‖, -on the work of a journalist‖, -on the representative of a trade direction‖, -on cooperation with the III department‖ etc.). In many caricatures his unsightly external features are repeated. The abundance of caricatures is a sign of the publisher's serious influence on the cultural process of Russia in the 1820s and 1840s, although in most cases the critical, condemning view of artists on Bulgarin prevails.
