A nice gentleman [graphic]Cruikshank, George, 1792-1878, printmaker[12 September 1818]eng"A grotesque dandy walks in a landscape in profile to the right, bending at the waist, sucking a cane, left arm hanging stiffly. His features and dress are inscribed with the names of food, e.g. his red carbuncled rose is 'Currant Jelly', his shallow broad-brimmed hat (an eccentricity) is 'Calves Head Jelly' and 'Pancake'; the cravat which covers neck, cheek, and chin is 'Puff Paste'; his loose short trousers are 'White Sugar Bags'; his handkerchief 'Blow Monge'; his long spurs 'Gilt Gingerbread'. See British Museum Satires No. 13029. A companion plate to British Museum Satires No. 13057 with the same signature."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Alternative title from text above image: An exquisite dandy. Prodigious!!!Production of the print was apparently a joint effort by Robert Cruikshank and George Cruikshank, according to the note "By my brother I.R.C. assisted a little by G.C" to the impression in the collection of W.T. Spencer (1931). See British Museum catalogue.Perhaps a different state from that described in the British Museum catalogue; the latter seems to lack any text in the upper margin. Cf.
