Humour All blowing and growing Cruikshank 19th century cartoon
This is a cartoon etching by the well-known Victorian social caricaturist / cartoonist George Cruikshank (1792 - 1878), dated May 20th, 1828. (1828 is in the reign of William IV, but most of Cruikshanks artistic work was in the long reign of Queen Victoria.) Title: All a-blowing all a-growing Description: The title represents the street-cry of a London plant-seller. The female seller is represented as a hand-bell, while all her wares are piled on top of her hat. Ladies large hats were a not-uncommon object of fun for Cruikshank. The hand-bell gives a feminine shape and a reminder of the streets where a hand-bell might be used to attract attention. Designed Etched & Published by Geo. Cruikshank May 20th 1828

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century cartoon etching by George Cruikshank captures the essence of Victorian humor and social commentary. Titled "All a-blowing all a-growing" the image depicts a street-cry scene in London, where a female plant-seller stands with her wares piled high on top of her hat. The exaggerated size of ladies' hats during that era was often subject to ridicule, and Cruikshank playfully incorporates this element into his caricature. The woman is portrayed as a hand-bell, adding both feminine shape and an association with the streets where such bells were used to attract attention. Created in May 1828 during William IV's reign but within the artistic heyday of Queen Victoria, this print showcases Cruikshank's talent for capturing everyday life with wit and satire. With intricate details brought to life through etching techniques, this illustration offers viewers a glimpse into 19th-century London society. The seller's large hat becomes an amusing centerpiece adorned with flowers, plants, ribbons, and even a bell for added whimsy. George Cruikshank's work remains highly regarded for its ability to entertain while providing subtle social commentary. This print serves as a reminder of his mastery in creating humorous scenes that reflect the spirit of Victorian England.
