Hand-colored 1826 caricature etching: a crowded family scene in the center, surrounded by small vignettes of a dandy, an apothecary, a thin man, and a pig.

Phrenological propensities: philoprogenitiveness, amativeness, self-love, individuality, number; illustrated by a huge and happy family, an apothecary making advances on his maidservant, a dandy admiring his reflection, Seurat the human skeleton, Toby the learned pig. Coloured etching by G. Cruikshank, 1826, after himself.

A hand-colored caricature etching by George Cruikshank with six framed vignettes arranged around a central crowded scene of a large family at a table. Clockwise from top left, figures show an apothecary and maid, a dandy at a mirror, a thin man in trunks, and a pig beside a sign, with labels naming phrenological traits.
