Title
Monstrosities of 1821
Description
George Cruikshank was a master of satirical art, and much of his work focused on social and political commentary. In this etching people stroll through one of London's parks, showcasing extravagant fashions. The print perfectly embodies Cruikshank's style and his keen ability to capture the personalities and emotions of subjects from all walks of life. The etching is part of a series of eight plates begun by Cruikshank in 1816 to caricature the fashions of the day. His legacy endures through his works and his influence on the broader landscape of 19th-century illustration.
