Cruikshank at Princeton
The Princeton University Library has just completed a website displaying prints and book illustrations of George Cruikshank (1792-1878): http://www.princeton.edu/~vismat/cruikshank/. Princeton has one of the largest collections of Cruikshank manuscripts, books, prints, and artwork, including more than a hundred drawings. The website contains links to the manuscripts finding aid, a catalogue of drawings, and an experimental interactive gallery showing preliminary drawings next to the finished prints, along with commentary and cataloguing records. The gallery can be browsed chronologically, thus serving as an overview of Cruikshank’s career. Any suggestions, comments, or corrections gratefully appreciated.
