For the last before Halloween, a ghostly vision.

In Isaac Cruikshank's caricature 'A Vision of Judgement' (c1829), Wellington is haunted by a vision of Charon rowing three ghostly figures across the River Styx (a reference to Dante's 'Inferno').

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.

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?
