Points of Humour
After George Cruikshank, 1824
The Victoria & Albert Museum



Published by Charles Baldwyn after George Cruikshank, this wood-engraving dates to 1824 and depicts six proofs of vignettes to different “Points of Humour.”

As you can see, Cruikshank’s experience with Mr. Punch and his wife Judy has served him well in this instance.
