Cruikshank’s work is permeated by the comic; however, he was acutely sensitive to the misery, vice, and corruption of British social and political life. His gossiping ladies appear in the top-center vignette of the page amongst episodes characterizing women as vain gossips who will eagerly “eat toad” if required.
