This is a cartoon etching by the well-known Victorian social caricaturist / cartoonist George Cruikshank (1792 - 1878), dated May 20th, 1828. (1828 is in the reign of William IV, but most of Cruikshanks artistic work was in the long reign of Queen Victoria.) Title: Ignorance is bliss Conversation: - What (is) Taxes Thomas?!! - I m sure I don t Know! Description: Two liveried flunkeys, pampered employees of the rich, lounge at the entrance to a town house. Between them sits an over-fed dog, fattened on scraps thrown from the table, and inside the house the plump porter sits in a hooded chair. Protected by the wealthy, they are not troubled by taxes.
