The Auckward Squad, 1793
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating coloured etching that takes us back to the tumultuous era of the French Revolutionary Wars. Created by Isaac Cruikshank in 1793 and published by W Fores, this humorous and satirical artwork offers a unique glimpse into the world of line infantry during this period. In this lively scene, we see a group of uniformed soldiers gathered together, each with their own distinct personality. The artist's skillful use of caricature brings these characters to life, highlighting their quirks and idiosyncrasies. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, Cruikshank invites us to join in on the laughter. The soldiers are depicted engaging in various activities associated with military life - shooting practice being one of them. Their awkwardness and lack of coordination add an element of comedy to the scene. It is evident that these men are not your typical disciplined troops; instead, they exude a sense of camaraderie as they navigate through their duties with charm and wit. As we delve deeper into "The Auckward Squad" it becomes clear that Cruikshank intended to entertain his audience while also shedding light on the realities faced by soldiers during times of war. Through his artistry, he captures both the human side and absurdity inherent in military life. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and chaos, humor can be found – offering solace and respite from harsh realities.
