| Summary | "The Life of George Cruikshank in Two Epochs, Vol. 1" by Blanchard Jerrold is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life, artistry, and significant contributions of George Cruikshank, a renowned British caricaturist and illustrator known for his satirical and humorous works. Jerrold aims to portray Cruikshank not only through his artistic achievements but also through the personal anecdotes and evaluations of those who esteemed him. At the start of the volume, readers are introduced to the character and early life of George Cruikshank, emphasizing his background as the son of a struggling artist, which exposed him to the world of caricature from a young age. The opening discusses Cruikshank's career as a hardworking illustrator who used his art as a means of expressing social commentary and humor, evolving through two significant epochs in his life—one before he became a total abstainer and another marked by his commitment to social reform through his art. The opening chapters convey both admiration for Cruikshank's talent and acknowledgment of the challenges he faced in a competitive artistic landscape, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of his dedicated life and work.
