| Research Abstract |
A : Cruikshank's Imitation of Hogarth
My claim is that some of Cruikshank's illustrations for Oliver can be seen as signifiers, even if Paulson does not endorse this opinion. This is testified by figuring out the riddles embedded in the illustrations for Oliver. Cruikshank follows the lead of Hogarth, who made his prints all the more emblematic by proposing formidable riddles to the viewer of his plates.
B : Socio-Cultural Interpretation of Cruikshank's The Bottle (1847)
Though glyphography was inferior to chalcography (copper engraving) in terms of exactness and minuteness, the former was definitely superior in respect of the cost of prints. In creating The Bottle, Cruikshank utilized not chalcography but glyphography in view of propagating his teetotal prints directly to the working class, who were, in general, notorious for their addiction to alcohol.
