	George Cruikshank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in London, England, he was a member of the Cruikshank family of caricaturists and artists, the son of Scottish painter and caricaturist Isaac Cruikshank.
		Cruikshank's early career was renowned for his social caricatures of British life for popular publications such as The Comic Almanack (1835-1853) and Omnibus (1842) but later in his career, his book illustrations for Charles Dickens and many other authors reached an international audience.
		Cruikshank’s 60-year career began with political prints that attacked the royal family and leading politicians (in 1820 he received a royal bribe of £100 for a pledge "not to caricature His Majesty" (George III of the United Kingdom) "in any immoral situation").

	George Cruikshank by William Makepeace Thackeray : Arthur's Classic Novels
		Cruikshank would not stand by and see a woman ill-used, and so struck in for her rescue, he and the people belaboring with all their might the party who were making the attack, and determining, from pure sympathy and indignation, that the woman must be innocent because her husband treated her so foully.
		Cruikshank has designed all this as if he had a very serious belief in the story; he laughs, to be sure, but one fancies that he is a little frightened in his heart, in spite of all his fun and joking.
		Cruikshank has depicted Irish character and Cockney character; English country character is quite as faithfully delineated in the person of the stout porteress and her children, and of the "Chawbacon" with the shovel, on whose face is written "Zummerzetsheer." Chawbacon appears in another plate, or else Chawbacon's brother.

	George Cruikshank and Charles Dickens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Although Dickens worked closely with George Cruikshank on the serial illustrations for Oliver Twist (1838-41), the novelist, who disliked the heavy teetotalism of The Bottle and the moralizing emendations of his edition of fairytales, responded to them satirically in Household Words with his "Frauds on the Fairies," (1 October, 1853).
		After Dickens's death in 1870, Cruikshank made the preposterous assertion that it was he who had originated Oliver Twist, a claim which Dickens's biographer and confidant, John Forster, refuted by referring the Dickens's letters, although the plates for that novel certainly reflect Cruikshank's extensive knowledge of the London underworld.

	George Cruikshank, by William Makepeace Thackeray
		Cruikshank's works—the "Busen fuhlt sich jugendlich erschuttert," the "schwankende Gestalten" of youth flit before one again,—Cruikshank's thrush begins to pipe and carol, as in the days of boyhood; hence misty moralities, reflections, and sad and pleasant remembrances arise.
		Famous books in their day were Cruikshank's "John Gilpin" and "Epping Hunt;" for though our artist does not draw horses very scientifically,—to use a phrase of the atelier,—he FEELS them very keenly; and his queer animals, after one is used to them, answer quite as well as better.
		Cruikshank, the quality of his success, as we have said before, is the extraordinary earnestness and good faith with which he executes all he attempts—the ludicrous, the polite, the low, the terrible.

		George Cruikshank was a humorist of the school of Hogarth, and is considered by some to be one of the best that Britain has produced.
		He was the son of a Scottish painter, Isaac Cruikshank, and apparently his talent was such that he could draw as soon as he could write.
