George Cruikshank Biography

(b London, 27 Sept 1792; d London, 1 Feb 1878). Printmaker and draughtsman, son of (1) Isaac Cruikshank. From an early age he helped his father, learning to use an etching needle before the turn of the 18th century. He was employed by Hannah Humphrey, James Gillray’s publisher and landlady, to finish plates Gillray was too ill to complete: their style is so close as sometimes to be indistinguishable. His early work also owes a considerable debt to Hogarth. Cruikshank was a successful juvenile actor and at one time intended to make his career on the stage. His lifelong gift for play-acting, mimicry and story-telling informed all his illustration.
