1851 Caricatures Cruikshank Fellow Fellows Humans Pair Pairs Zoological Similarities


EDITORS COMMENTS
Fellows of the Zoological Society: A Whimsical Pairing of Humans and Animals by George Cruikshank (1851) This delightful and intriguing print by renowned English caricaturist George Cruikshank, titled "Fellows of the Zoological Society," offers a playful and imaginative take on the members of the prestigious Zoological Society of London. Dated 1851, this charming caricature pairs each fellow with an animal that shares striking similarities to their human counterpart. The print begins with Sir Thomas Dick La Touche, a prominent zoologist and explorer, who is humorously paired with an elephant. The resemblance between the two is unmistakable, with both sporting large, bushy mustaches and a sense of grandeur. Next, we find Sir William Jardine, a prolific naturalist, accompanied by a gorilla, reflecting their shared robust and imposing presence. As we continue through the print, we encounter various other fascinating pairings. Sir Roderick Murchison, a geologist, is matched with a rhinoceros, while Sir Charles Lyell, a renowned geologist and author, is paired with a tortoise, symbolizing their steadfast and patient nature. Sir Henry Bates, an explorer and naturalist, is humorously depicted with a monkey, highlighting their shared curiosity and agility. Cruikshank's masterful use of caricature and wit adds an entertaining dimension to the serious work of these esteemed fellows. This print not only showcases the unique personalities of the individuals involved but also highlights the intriguing connections between humans and the natural world. A must-have for any collection of historical cartoons, zoology, or the works of George Cruikshank.
