Item Description
Title: Home from School-on the commencement of the Holidays – published August 1, 1835
George Cruikshank (1792-1878), the English artist and illustrator, who came from an "extraordinarily talented artistic family," established himself as a prominent illustrator and cartoonist while still a young man. Working with both wood- and steel-engravings, he created an enormous amount "of lively illustrations portraying the British and their way of life with incredible vigour." His best-known illustrations of texts by others appeared in Pierce Egan's Life in London and Charles Dickens's Sketches by Boz and Oliver Twist. His own works include Comic Alphabet (which has provided some of the decorated initials used in the Victorian Web), the Comic Almanac (1835-1853), My Sketch Book, Omnibus, Three Courses and a Dessert, and Table Book.
