Humour Cruikshank 19th century cartoon a vane man
This is a cartoon etching by the well-known Victorian social caricaturist / cartoonist George Cruikshank (1792 - 1878), dated February 1, 1831. (1831 is in the reign of William IV, but most of Cruikshanks artistic work was in the long reign of Queen Victoria.) At first sight it is a simple pun. The silhouette of a man is made into a weather-vane, and it is described as a vane man. A secondary message is conveyed. A plump man out shooting in top hat and tails is a vain man, self-regarding and pompous
