George Cruikshank's first skecthes for publication in periodicals were made in
1811 for the Scourge. He worked for that publication for 5 years and then was employed at the Humorist for a period of years beginning in 1819, but he also contributed to
many other magazines as well as illustrations for various books.
His drawings capture the spirit of Victorian England.
Among his most celebrated drawings were those for Dickens' Oliver Twist and the Frank Fairlegh, which are reproduced here. |
