"Caricature Ornaments for Screens" is a satirical print by English artist George Cruikshank. Created sometime between 1800 and 1826, the print depicts two scenes of social gatherings, a rout and a ball. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum and features two figures holding up the scenes, their exaggerated features and poses adding to the humorous critique of 19th-century social events. The print is a fine example of Cruikshank's talent for social commentary through caricature.
