George Cruikshank (27 September 1792 - 1 February 1878), son of the Scottish painter and caricaturist Isaac Cruikshank, was a caricaturist and book illustrator. His 60-year career began with political prints that attacked the royal family and leading politicians (in 1820 he received a royal bribe of ?100 for a pledge " not to caricature His Majesty (George III of the United Kingdom) in any immoral situation." ) He went on to create social caricatures of British life for popular publications such as The Comic Almanack (1835-1853) and Omnibus (1842). Later in his career, his book illustrations for Charles Dickens and many other authors reached an international audience.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Cruikshank's satirical painting, "The Court at Brighton a La Chinese - 1816". The artwork humorously depicts the Prince Regent's fascination with Chinoiserie, which ultimately led to the construction of the iconic Brighton Pavilion. In this image, we witness the Prince Regent himself instructing Lord Amherst to procure fresh patterns of Chinese deformities for the pavilion's decorations in London, England. George Cruikshank, born on September 27th, 1792 and passing away on February 1st, 1878, was a renowned British caricaturist and book illustrator. His illustrious career spanned six decades and began with political prints that boldly criticized both the royal family and prominent politicians. Interestingly enough, in 1820 he received a substantial bribe of ?100 from King George III to refrain from creating any immoral caricatures featuring him. Cruikshank went on to create social caricatures depicting various aspects of British life for popular publications like The Comic Almanack (1835-1853) and Omnibus (1842). Moreover, his exceptional skills as a book illustrator earned him international recognition when he collaborated with esteemed authors such as Charles Dickens. This remarkable print is housed in the British Museum and offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into Cruikshank's artistic genius while shedding light on an important period in British history.
