EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a sketch in pen and ink by the talented British caricaturist and book illustrator, George Cruikshank. The illustration depicts his brother Robert leading a boy regiment, with himself proudly positioned at the front rank. During the early 19th century, when fears of a potential invasion of England by Napoleon loomed large, numerous boy regiments were formed as volunteers to defend their homeland. In this artwork, we witness the young boys marching forward with determination and courage. Their youthful faces display both innocence and bravery as they prepare to protect their country. George Cruikshank's intricate detailing brings each soldier to life on paper, showcasing his exceptional artistic skills. The composition not only highlights the bond between brothers but also emphasizes the spirit of unity among these young volunteers. It serves as a testament to their patriotism and willingness to stand up for what they believe in. Published in The Strand Magazine in 1897, this piece remains an important historical artifact that sheds light on an era marked by uncertainty and resilience. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how even children played significant roles during times of national crisis. Ken Welsh's expert reproduction ensures that this remarkable work of art can be appreciated for generations to come.
