Description
1845 George Cruikshank 1ed Comic Almanack Caricature Illustrated Etchings Humor
George Cruikshank was one of Englands best and most notable 19th-century caricaturists and book illustrators. The Comic Almanack is a collection of 19th-century tales, humorous stories and essays, and poems etched by Cruikshank. While each edition of the Comic Almanack includes the works of famed authors, it was the artwork and comedic mind of Cruikshank that brought it its lasting popularity and fame.
“In 1835 Cruikshank issued the first number of the Comic Almanack, with a dozen right merrie cuts (etchings) pertaining to the months by himself, and a few minor embellishments.” (DNB).
