Engraving. Sheet 110 x 60mm (4¼ x 2¼"). Trimmed and backed onto album paper at borders.
Portrait of Francis Glisson (1597 - 1677), English physician, anatomist, and writer on medical subjects. He did important work on the anatomy of the liver, and he wrote an early pediatric text on rickets. An experiment he performed helped debunk the balloonist theory of muscle contraction by showing that when a muscle contracted under water, the water level did not rise, and thus no air or fluid could be entering the muscle.

Language P.5.
Designed, Etched & Published by George Cruikshank _ August 1.st 1826.
Hand-coloured etching, 250 x 300mm (10 x 11¾"), with margins. Holes in left margin where previously bound. Foxing.
From Cruikshank's series of 'Phrenological Illustrations'. Five vignettes: A Billingsgate market quarrel, where two fishwives hurl insults amid an amused crowd, while a prim woman departs in shock beneath a notice beginning ''Notice All boats laden with Oysters arriving at Billings-Gate Market…'' ''Ideality," a man bolts upright in bed, mistaking clothes on a chair and peg for ghostly figures, as a grinning full moon peers through the window. ''Wit," in a churchyard, boys frighten an old woman with a lantern by raising a turnip-headed ''ghost'' behind a tomb marked ''Alas Poor Yorick.'' ''Imitation— &—Approbation'', Mathews performs a mock phrenological lecture on stage, brandishing a marked skull to the delight of an applauding audience, one holding a bill for ''Mathews at Home.'' ''Comparison'', a comically tall, thin man at ''Long Acre'' meets a very short woman at ''Little St Martin’s Lane,'' as barefoot boys point and jeer.
