"October - Notice to Quit" is a satirical etching by renowned British artist George Cruikshank, dating back to the mid-19th century. This artwork, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is one of many from Cruikshank's series illustrating "The Comic Almanacks". This particular etching captures a humorous scene of characters being evicted, likely satirizing the social injustices and economic realities of Victorian England. Cruikshank's distinctive style, known for its sharp lines and exaggerated figures, creates a lively and comical portrayal of this relatable situation.
