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.
