About
Why this artist matters now
Isaac Robert Cruikshank, sometimes known as Robert Cruikshank, was a caricaturist, illustrator and portrait miniaturist, the less well-known brother of George Cruikshank, both sons of Isaac Cruikshank. Just like them, he holds importance as a pioneer in the history of comics for creating several cartoons which make use of narrative sequence and speech balloons.
