EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and chaotic scene captured in the print "Big Family / Cruikshank (Taking the Census)" from 1851, depicts the head of an oversized, extended family struggling to remember the names and count the members of his vast household. As he attempts to take a census, it becomes clear that keeping track of all his kin and servants is no easy task.
The intricate details in this historical artwork by Cruikshank bring to life a bustling family dynamic filled with confusion and comedy. Each character seems to have their own unique personality, adding depth to this lively portrayal of domestic life in the 19th century.
The exaggerated proportions of the family members emphasize the overwhelming nature of trying to manage such a large household. The sheer number of people crammed into one space creates a sense of claustrophobia and disorder, making it even more challenging for the head of the family to keep track.
Overall, this print serves as a whimsical reminder that even in times past, families faced similar struggles when it came to organization and remembering everyone's names. It is a delightful glimpse into history that showcases both the joys and challenges of having a big family.
