Cruikshank .

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.
