EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tom and Jerry Masquerading It Among the Cadgers in the Back Slums" takes us back to 19th-century London, offering a glimpse into the gritty realities of life in the city's impoverished East End. Created by George Cruikshank as part of his illustrations for Pierce Egan's book "Life in London" this colour etching vividly captures a scene set within a den where beggars gather. The image portrays a chaotic atmosphere filled with destitution and desperation. Beggars huddle together, seeking solace from their harsh reality while engaging in vices such as smoking and drinking. A tankard is passed around, symbolizing their shared struggle against poverty. The tavern-like setting suggests that these slum dwellers find temporary respite from their hardships within these walls. Cruikshank's cartoonish style adds an element of humor to this otherwise somber depiction. The characters of Tom and Jerry, popular figures at the time known for their misadventures, are seen masquerading among the cadgers (beggars). Their presence injects an air of mischief into an otherwise bleak scene. This artwork serves as both social commentary on the plight of London's poor during this era and entertainment for its viewers. It reminds us that even amidst dire circumstances, people find ways to cope through camaraderie and humor. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era long past but still
