Was he a radical, this George Cruikshank? Here at the George Cruikshank Plaque, we’re reminded of the man who used his art to comment on society. The George Cruikshank Plaque, erected in 1885 by the Royal Society of Arts, marks the spot where this influential artist lived from 1850 to 1878. The inscription tells us he was born on September 27, 1792, and died on February 1, 1878. He gained fame for his satirical cartoons and illustrations. Though known for his social commentary, Cruikshank’s later works often promoted temperance. This shift in focus might suggest a complex character, not easily categorized. He used his art as a tool for change, leaving a legacy that continues to provoke us even today.
