EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art history - the "Childrens Lottery Picture" etching, drawn by none other than George Cruikshank himself at the tender age of 12. Created in 1804, this plate marked one of his earliest paid commissions and set the stage for his illustrious career as an artist and illustrator. In this enchanting image, we see young Cruikshank depicted in the left-hand corner, proudly carrying the finished plate to be presented to booksellers. His youthful face radiates with excitement and determination, embodying the passion that would propel him towards becoming one of Britain's most renowned artists. The intricate details within this etching are a testament to Cruikshank's prodigious talent even at such a young age. Each stroke tells a story - from whimsical characters adorning lottery tickets to vibrant scenes depicting children eagerly anticipating their fate. This artwork not only captures the essence of childhood innocence but also serves as a window into early 19th-century London society. Preserved through time, this photograph print allows us to appreciate both Cruikshank's artistic prowess and his significant contribution to visual storytelling. It stands as a reminder that creativity knows no boundaries when nurtured from an early age. Displayed within "The Connoisseur Illustrated" published in 1903, this image continues to inspire generations with its timeless charm and historical significance.
