Beskrivelse af The Life Of George Cruikshank
The Life of George Cruikshank: In Two Epochs is a biography of the renowned British caricaturist and illustrator, George Cruikshank. Written by his friend and fellow writer, Blanchard Jerrold, the book is divided into two parts, or epochs, that cover different periods of Cruikshank's life and work.The first epoch covers Cruikshank's early life and career, including his childhood in London, his apprenticeship with his father as a caricaturist, and his rise to fame as a political satirist and illustrator in the early 19th century. This section also explores his personal life, including his marriage and family, and his struggles with alcoholism and mental illness.The second epoch focuses on Cruikshank's later years and his transition from political satire to more moralistic and socially conscious themes in his work. This section covers his collaborations with Charles Dickens, including their joint publication of Oliver Twist, as well as his advocacy for temperance, anti-smoking, and other social causes.Throughout the book, Jerrold provides detailed analysis of Cruikshank's art and its historical and cultural context, as well as insights into his personality and character. The Life of George Cruikshank: In Two Epochs is a fascinating and comprehensive portrait of one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
