Biographical Sketch 
 
 EORGE CRUIKSHANK was born in London on the 27th 
 
 of September, 1792. His parents were of Scotch nationality. 
 
 The father, namely, Isaac Cruikshank, was an artist by 
 profession, having considerable skill in water-colour painting and 
 etching. The mother was a Miss Macnaughten, of Perth, a 
 protege of the Countess of Perth, and the possessor of a 
 small sum of money. She was a person of energetic temper 
 and strong will, and so thrifty that by saving she added con- 
 siderably to her original pecuniary possession. She was also 
 careful to bring up her children in a pious manner, being, along 
 with them, a regular attendant at the Scotch Church in Crown 
 Court, Drury Lane. 
 
 The couple took up house in Duke Street, Bloomsbury, where 
 two sons and one daughter were born. The elder son was born 
 in 1789, named Isaac Robert, and ultimately became an artist of 
 considerable reputation, but of much less originality in character 
 and design than his younger brother. George was born about 
 three years later. In artistic work he struck out in a new line, 
 and although the difference between his work and that of his 
 father and brother was not in every case strongly marked, still 
 it was always sufficient to enable experts to select the productions 
 of the youngest from those of his two seniors, a distinctly new 
 and original vein appearing in them from the first. 
 
 While the three children were still quite young, the family 
 removed to No. 1 17 Dorset Street, Salisbury Square, Fleet Street, 
 where the parents let a portion of the house to lodgers. Here 
 the father continued to work on his plates, while his wife coloured 
 them by hand, soon, however, obtaining help in that respect from 
 her sons. The boys went to school at Mortlake, and afterwards 
 to Edgeware, but not for long, so that they owed little to school- 
 masters. The elder brother went to sea, and not returning when 
 expected, was supposed to be lost, and mourned for as such. 
 But after three years he suddenly re-appeared, and was welcomed 
 home with joy, — resuming engraving for a livelihood Unfor- 
 tunately for the family, the father died in 1811. Up to the time 
 of his decease he appears to have had a steady and good business, 
 having produced an immense number of sketches, coloured

 etchings, engravings, and designs produced in various modes, 
 many of them in connection with the stage. At the time of his 
 father’s decease, the oldest son was twenty-two years of age, and 
 George, the second son, nineteen. They were both well-advanced 
 in their profession, and were quite capable of taking up and 
 prosecuting their father’s business connection. 
 
 Previous to all this, there is no doubt that George began to 
 draw when he was a mere child. Some of his productions of 
 1799 are still extant. “George’s first playthings,” says Mr. Bates, 
 “were the needle and the dabber;” but play insensibly merged 
 into work, as he began to assist his hard-worked father. His 
 earliest inclination, it is said, was to go to sea, but his mother 
 opposed this. The earliest job in the way of etching, for which he 
 was employed and received payment, was a child’s lottery ticket. 
 This was in 1804, when he was about twelve years of age. In 
 1805 he made a sketch of Nelson’s funeral car, and whimsical 
 etchings of the fashions of the day. His earliest signed work is 
 dated two years later, and represents the demagogue Cobbett 
 going to St. James’s. His father’s early death threw the lad on 
 his own resources, and he quickly found that he must fight for a 
 place in the world, as Fuseli told him he would have to do for a 
 seat in the Academy. Anything that offered was acceptable- - 
 headings for songs and halfpenny ballads, illustrations for chap 
 books, designs for nursery tales, sheets of prints for children — a 
 dozen on the sheet and a penny the lot — vignettes for lottery- 
 tickets, rude cuts for broadsides, political squibs — all trivial records, 
 but now of the utmost rarity and value. 
 
 While still very’’ young, and before his father’s decease, young 
 George, with a view to becoming an Academy student, took 
 specimens of his work to Fuseli for his inspection, when that 
 official told him that he would just have to “fight for his place,” 
 and at same time gave him permission to attend the lectures 
 on painting. He attended two of the lectures and then stopped 
 going, as his father held that if he was destined to be an artist 
 he would become one without instruction, so that he never 
 became a real student of that institution, nor had he a regular 
 training in any way, so that his education, both so far as art and 
 ordinary schooling was concerned, was very irregular and de- 
 ficient. In fact, as a lad and young man he appeared to have 
 been too full of animal spirits and too fond of sight-seeing to 
 settle down to a hard course of study. The goings-on of the 
 two brothers were severely condemned by their pious and strict 
 mother. Occasionally she even went the length of castigating 
 George when he returned home in the small hours from fairs and 
 horse races, or the prize ring, and sometimes not quite sober

 He is described at this early age as filled with a reckless love of 
 adventure, emulating the exploits of Tom and Jerry, with wild 
 companions. His field of observation extended from the foot of 
 the gallows to Greenwich fair, through coal-holes, cider-cellars, 
 cribs, and prize-fighters’ taverns, Petticoat Lane, and Smithfield. 
 Its centre was Covent Garden Market, where the young bloods 
 drank, and sang, and fought under the piazzas in those days. 
 Such was pretty much the sort of education the young men 
 had, and luckily George had the sense and talent to turn it all 
 to good account later on with his pencil. 
 
 In course of time the artist was firmly established in business, 
 and had numerous patrons among the publishers, some of whom 
 were thriving to a considerable extent through Cruikshank’s 
 labours. After numerous isolated sketches, which brought him 
 no small amount of fame, the first considerable series of designs 
 by him appeared in Dr. Syntax’s Life of Napoleon , consisting of 
 thirty illustrations. Another long series was twenty-three 
 illustrations to Pierce Egan’s Life in London. As also twenty- 
 seven etchings to Grimm’s Popular Stories. These were followed 
 by numerous other lengthened series, such as Mornings at Bozo 
 Street , Three Courses and a Dessert , Punch and Judy, Gil Bias, 
 My Sketch Book, Scott’s Novels, Sketches by Boz, The Omnibus, 
 and very numerous others. In all, he appears to have produced 
 the illustrations for no fewer than three hundred and twenty 
 volumes, not to speak of an immense number of isolated sketches 
 of all sorts. 
 
 In 1847 and 1848 there came from his pencil his first 
 direct and outspoken contribution to the cause of temperance 
 in “The Bottle” and the “Drunkard’s Children,” although in 
 some of his earlier designs he had satired the prevalent vice of 
 drunkenness ; he capped them all, however, in the eight 
 plates of “ The Bottle,” in which he depicts the terrible down- 
 ward march of degradation in the tragedy of an entire family, 
 from the easy temptation of “a little drop” to the final murder 
 of the wife. In “The Drunkard’s Children,” eight more plates, 
 the remorseless moral is continued, the son becomes a thief, 
 and dies in the hulks ; the daughter, taking to the streets, 
 ultimately throws herself over Waterloo Bridge. The two 
 works had a great success. Moreover, they were dramatised in 
 eight theatres at once, and were sold by tens of thousands. 
 Hitherto Cruikshank had not been a strict abstainer, but now 
 he became one with all the energy of his nature. 
 
 In Cruikshank’s later years he made a good many attempts 
 at oil painting, and exhibited quite a number of paintings at 
 the Royal Academy, all with more or less success. But the 
 
10CRU IKS HANK’S HUMOROUS ILLUSTRATIONS 
 
 largest and best known of these is the “ Worship of Bacchus;” 
 it is a work of inexhaustible detail and invention, and was 
 received by the public with great favour ; the size is 7 feet 
 8 inches high by 13 feet 3 inches long, and it is now in the 
 National Gallery. 
 
 However, to return to the affairs of the family. In time the 
 brother Isaac Robert having got married, the whole family 
 removed to King Street, Holborn. Soon afterwards the mother, 
 George, and sister took a house in Claremont Square, Penton- 
 ville, at that period partially in the country. Later on, becoming 
 married, George removed to Amwell Street, where he remained 
 for thirty years. He afterwards resided in several suburban 
 localities, but finally settled down at 263 Hampstead Road, 
 where he died on the 1st of February, 1878, and in the following 
 November his remains were finally deposited in the crypt of 
 St. Paul’s Cathedral. 
 
 In person Cruikshank was a broad-chested man, rather 
 below the middle height, with a high forehead, blue-grey eyes, a 
 hook nose, and a pair of strong whiskers. In his younger days 
 he had been an adept at boxing and all manly sports, as also an 
 enthusiastic volunteer, ultimately becoming lieutenant-colonel of 
 the 48th Middlesex Volunteers. He preserved his energy 
 almost to the last day of his life. Even at eighty he was 
 ready to dance a hornpipe, or sing a song. “ He was,” says one 
 who knew him well, “a light hearted, merry, jolly old gentleman, 
 full physically of humorous action and impulsive gesture, but in 
 every word and deed a God-fearing, queen-honouring, truth- 
 loving, honest man.” ' 
 
 The old school of caricaturists in which the names of Gilray, 
 Rowlandson, Woodward, and Bunbury are most prominent, was 
 noted chiefly for the broad, and in many cases, vulgar treatment 
 cf the subjects which were dealt with. The later school of 
 caricaturists, in their mode of treating similar subjects, differed 
 considerably from their predecessors. The leading member of 
 the new school was George Cruikshank. He lived and worked 
 during two generations, and may be considered as the connecting 
 link between the old school and the new. At first Cruikshank 
 to some extent followed Gilray and Rowlandson, but gradually 
 fell off from their style of art, and in its stead produced work of 
 a more serious and more artistic nature, which was the beginning 
 of a new era in the history of caricature. His illustrations to 
 innumerable works are of the highest order, and have made for 
 him an everlasting reputation.

 Mr. Eambkin suddenly feels rather poorly, something in the “ whitebait

 confounded melted butter (couldn’t possibly have been the wine). His 
 friends endeavour to relieve him with little Drops of Brandy and large 
 doses of Soda Water.

 adds to the porter a quantity of Champagne, which they drink with the 
 same degree of easy elegance as they do the beer.

 Mr. Lambkin in a moment of delightful delirium puts his name to some 
 little bits of paper to oblige his very delightful friend the Hon. D. Swindelle,

 whose demands make an awful hole in his Cheque-book.
