Mushroom monstrosities [graphic]Cruikshank, George, 1792-1878, printmaker[24 January 1826]eng"A landscape is patterned with tiny children under huge wide-brimmed hats. Two girls in back view hasten towards three little boys who swagger forward, arm-in-arm; the hat of the tallest boy projects far beyond the heads of the others, who wear round peaked caps. All wear childish trousers gathered at the ankle in a dandyish manner. One boy rides a hobbyhorse, one child has fallen prone, and is almost covered by its hat. In the foreground grow genuine mushrooms."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from item.Title from caption below image.Watermark: J Whatman 1827.
