EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Sketch for an Al-bum, pub. 1835" by the renowned artist George Cruikshank, takes us on a whimsical journey through a bustling street scene in the early 19th century. The print showcases Cruikshank's exceptional talent for caricature and his ability to capture humorous moments with great detail. In this lively composition, we are transported into a world filled with laughter and merriment. Women elegantly ride horses side-saddle while men gallantly accompany them. Playful dogs frolic around as children giggle at the comical sight before them. Cruikshank's keen eye for satire is evident as he pokes fun at societal norms and conventions of the time. A beggar sits beside railings, seemingly oblivious to the amusing chaos unfolding around him. Donkeys and horses make their way through the crowd, adding to the delightful pandemonium.

Through his exaggerated portrayal of rear views and backside antics, Cruikshank invites us to embrace humor in all its forms. "Sketch for an Al-bum" not only showcases Cruikshank's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder that even in times past, people found joy in playful absurdity. This enchanting engraving from Bridgeman Images captures both the spirit of sport and
