EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and lively print by George Cruikshank. This hand-coloured etching takes us on a journey into the world of strolling players in the early 19th century. In this scene, we are transported into the interior of a bustling room filled with various characters and activities. The focus lies on two sisters, dressed in vibrant costumes, who are part of a group known as "The Strollers". They are accompanied by their brothers and parents, creating an atmosphere of familial camaraderie. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice other elements that add depth to this narrative. A Punch and Judy show entertains both young and old alike while nearby a barber tends to his customer's wig. In one corner, a mother lovingly cradles her baby while preparing food over an open fire. The room is adorned with beds and furniture that reflect the modesty of their lifestyle. Cruikshank's attention to detail brings each character to life; from the mischievous cat lurking beneath the table to the tantalizing aroma emanating from a roasting rib of meat.
