This etching by George Cruikshank depicts four scenes from London life throughout the year, starting with "Michaelmas Day" in September. The series, "George Cruikshank's Steel Etchings to The Comic Almanacks," is a collection of satirical commentary on British social customs and politics, and "September – "Michaelmas Day"" showcases Cruikshank's signature style of graphic caricature. The detail-oriented etching highlights the bustle of daily life, while the artist's stylized figures contribute to the humorous tone of the piece. This artwork is an excellent example of Cruikshank's prolific and impactful work in the graphic arts.
