Demon Demons Devil Devils Dining Table Taunting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from "The Ingoldsby Legends" by Thomas Ingoldsby, published in 1887. Created by the talented artist George Cruikshank, this lithograph depicts a scene from "The Lay of St. Cuthbert" one of the legendary tales featured in the book. In this intriguing image, we are transported to an interior setting where a male saint named Cuthbert is seated at a dining table. Surrounding him are devilish creatures and demons who taunt and tease him relentlessly. The attention to detail in Cruikshank's artwork is remarkable, as each demon exudes mischief and malice while engaging with St. Cuthbert. "The Ingoldsby Legends" was originally published between 1840 and 1843 under the pseudonym Richard Harris Barham. It gained immense popularity for its collection of humorous and macabre stories inspired by English folklore and history. This particular illustration perfectly captures the essence of Victorian storytelling, combining elements of fantasy, legend, and religious symbolism into one compelling visual narrative. The presence of putto figures adds an additional layer of intrigue to this already fascinating composition. Preserved within a private collection today, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into both the artistic brilliance of George Cruikshank and the imaginative world created by Thomas Ingoldsby over a century ago.
