The Headache (c. 1830) by George Cruikshank (1792-1878), colour etching. National Library of Medicine, Maryland.
I was made to feel that comics were a shameful art going through school. Low art, crass, disposable. Obviously my art teachers didn’t appreciate how important Hogarth & Cruikshank were or they would have taught me so... 🤷🏻♀️🤔

8/8 Bedlam. Alcohol has ruined the father. The children's flashy clothes show that they have turned to a life of crime. Cruikshank's sequel The Drunkard's Children follows their road to ruin.

Cruikshank made a series of annual "Monstrosities" prints, each set in Hyde Park and satirising that year's metropolitan fashions. This is the 1816 print:
A fun part about early 19th Century history is the abundance of Cruikshank cartoons satirizing contemporary events. Like this about Louis XVIII’s 1823 invasion of Spain, “Old Bumblehead the 18th trying on the Napoleon boots.” From Episode 18: https://t.co/N5W51BxQug
Eager actresses accompany scandal-prone Lord Byron as he sails from England, waving ‘bye to shadowy wife Annabella & one-month child on shore (Cruikshank, 1816). Who’d guess that this child (Ada Lovelace) would later be a pioneer in computer programming?

George Cruikshank, in his illustration for Dickens’ story “Public Dinners” in “Sketches by Boz”, sneaks in both himself and Dickens.
