George Cruikshank
(September 27, 1792&February 1, 1878) was an English
caricaturist and book illustrator. Born in London, he was a member
of the Cruikshank family of caricaturists and artists, the son of
Scottish painter and caricaturist Isaac Cruikshank. As a child he
learned etching techniques from his father, Isaac Cruikshank
(1762-1811), a fine satirical artist in his own right. George
Cruikshank published his first etching at the age of twelve. During
the second and third decades of the nineteenth century he created
works of art which equaled the etchings of Gillray and Rowlandson
in their technical abilities;he was in fact paid the sum of £60 to
not lampoon the royal family and was a lifelong teetotaller. George
Cruikshank also worked in collaboration with his brother, Isaac
Robert Cruikshank (1789-1856), another fine caricaturist and
satirical artist.
