Step into the whimsical world of 19th-century cartoons. From rain-soaked umbrellas to sailors on pavements, these hilarious images created between 1820 and 1829 will transport you back in time. In one cartoon, St. Swithin himself seems to be having a laugh as he drenches unsuspecting passersby with his rain-filled umbrella. Another artwork by Cruikshank pokes fun at tax ignorance, reminding us that sometimes bliss truly is found in not knowing. But it's not just the weather and taxes that these artists found amusing. They also had a knack for satirizing fashion trends, like the exaggerated puffed sleeves worn by ladies of the era. And who could forget the comical scene of a smuggler throwing punches at a preventive man? It seems even law enforcement wasn't spared from their sharp wit. In another cartoon titled 'All blowing and growing, ' Cruikshank takes aim at societal commentary with his clever depiction of people who are all talk but no action. Meanwhile, The New Police Act becomes fodder for humor as its implications are dissected through witty illustrations. The theme of gentility is explored in yet another piece by Cruikshank, where he playfully mocks high society's obsession with appearances. And let's not overlook Queen Catherine Parr herself making an appearance amidst all this laughter. Even dental hygiene doesn't escape scrutiny in these cartoons; tooth powder becomes the subject of ridicule as Cruikshank finds humor in everyday life situations. Lastly, we have Brobdignag bonnet – an oversized headpiece that elicits chuckles from anyone who lays eyes on it. So join us for a journey through time filled with laughter and satire as we explore these delightful images created during the early 19th century.
