CRUIKSHANK (S), Isaac, Robert and George.
The Cruikshankian Momus...
Isaac Robert Cruikshank, sometimes known as Robert Cruikshank (1789–1856) was a caricaturist, illustrator, and portrait miniaturist, the less well-known brother of George Cruikshank, both sons of Isaac Cruikshank. Just like them, he holds importance as a pioneer in the history of comics for creating several cartoons which make use of narrative sequences and speech balloons. George Cruikshank (1792–1878) was a British caricaturist and book illustrator praised as the "modern Hogarth" during his life. His book illustrations for his friend Charles Dickens, and many other authors, reached an international audience. Isaac Cruikshank (1764–1811), the Scottish painter and caricaturist, was born in Edinburgh and spent most of his career in London. Cruikshank is known for his social and political satire. His sons Isaac Robert Cruikshank (1789–1856) and George Cruikshank (1792–1878) also became artists, and the latter in particular achieved fame as an illustrator and caricaturist.
