Publisher's Synopsis
""Points of Humor"" is a collection of humorous illustrations by the renowned British caricaturist, George Cruikshank.

From lampooning the excesses of the aristocracy to ridiculing the foibles of the working class, Cruikshank's drawings are both witty and insightful. The book includes a variety of subjects, ranging from political satire to bawdy humor, and showcases Cruikshank's talent for capturing the absurdity of human behavior. With its sharp wit and clever illustrations, ""Points of Humor"" remains a classic of British humor and a testament to Cruikshank's enduring legacy as a master of caricature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
