George Cruikshank - Anglo Parisian Salutations

Anglo - Parisian Salutations or, Practice par Excellence!

George Cruikshank - Anglo - Parisian Salutations or, Practice par Excellence!: Not long after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo inter Continental travel became quite widespread. With the resumption of peace fascination with foreign culture reached a peak and members of both the emerging middle class and the upper class devoted themselves to learning languages. Thus in this delightful George Cruikshank etching, two English visitors adorned in the latest fashions in Paris practice their skills outside the 'Hotel des Fermes' --"Commong porty wous Munseer? -- O Oui -- il est un tres belle jour!.".

'Anglo - Parisian Salutations or, Practice par Excellence!' is an original etching by George Cruikshank and published initially in 1816. This impression was published by Thomas McLean for the second and final edition printed in 1835. It is one of a number of Cruikshank's commentaries upon relations among English, French and German language and culture in the early nineteenth century.

 
Title: Anglo - Parisian Salutations or, Practice par Excellence!
Artist: Cruikshank, George (London, 1792 - 1878)
Date: 1816 (Second and Final Edition, 1835)
Medium: Original Etching
Publisher: Thomas McLean, Haymarket
Note: George Cruikshank: The name of George Cruikshank deserves to stand beside those of William Hogarth, Thomas Rowlandson and James Gillray as representing the greatest satirical artists from the Golden Age of this art form. As a child he learned etching techniques from his father, Isaac Cruikshank (1762-1811), a fine satirical artist in his own right. George Cruikshank published his first etching at the age of twelve. During the second and third decades of the nineteenth century he created works of art which equaled the etchings of Gillray and Rowlandson in their technical abilities, but which perhaps surpassed either of these masters in their pure and wonderful humour. More than any other artist of satire, George Cruikshank was at his best when the target was -- as in this fine example -- culture, fashion and society. George Cruikshank also worked in collaboration with his brother, Isaac Robert Cruikshank (1789-1856), another fine caricaturist and satirical artist.
  As the conservative Victorian era began (1837) most forms of satirical art grew to be unfashionable. George Cruikshank thus turned his talents to the illustrated book. Some of the greatest volumes from these later times, including Dickens's Oliver Twist, bear testimony to the lifelong creativity of his art.
  In 1835 the London publisher, Thomas McLean, acquired a number of the most popular plates of both George and Robert Cruikshank and reprinted them with his address for a second and final edition which was titled, Cruikshankiana. Anglo - Parisian Salutations or, Practice par Excellence! hails from this edition.
  Anglo - Parisian Salutations or, Practice par Excellence! is one of a number of George Cruikshank commentaries upon relations among English, French and German language and culture in the early nineteenth century. This delightful etching depicts two English visitors adorned in the latest fashions in Paris practice their skills outside the 'Hotel des Fermes' --"Commong porty wous Munseer? -- O Oui -- il est un tres belle jour!."
