Cruikshank, George
British caricaturist and book illustrator active in the nineteenth century. Cruikshank's life overlapped with contemporary political debates over the institution of slavery in the early nineteenth-century British Empire. Many of his works, such as the 'The New Union Club' (1819) and 'An Emancipated N****' (1833), were explicitly pro-slavery and racist in their depiction of Black people. In 1822, Cruikshank produced a number of caricatures satirising Richard Westmacott's colossal bronze statue of Achilles, intended as a tribute to the Duke of Wellington, which reflected many of the gendered anxieties around the nude male body in the Regency era. There are also traces of racialised depictions in these caricatures. 'Backside & Front View of the Ladies Fancy-man, Paddy Carey', for instance, depicts a woman racialised as black amidst a group of white onlookers on the right hand side. -
