Description

British caricaturist and illustrator (1792–1878), best known for his works satirizing contemporary politics and his illustrations for the works of Charles Dickens. Original sketch by George Cruikshank, which appears to depict a small theatrical performance, accomplished in mixed media on an off-white 3.75 x 5.75 sheet, signed below in ink, “Geo. Cruikshank.” Affixed to a 6 x 8.5 sheet and in fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
