One of the earliest caricatures I have met with by George is entitled, _Apollyon_ [_i.e._, Napoleon]_, the Devil's Generalissimo, Addressing his Legions_; it is signed (contrary to his usual custom), "Cruikshank del.," and was executed (if I am right in assigning it to him) when he was sixteen years of age. 1813. DISCOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF CHARLES I. The attention of the public in 1813 was, as we have seen, attracted by the Regent's treatment of his miserable wife; and in April the sympathy of the Livery and Corporation of London, and other public bodies, found expression in an address which was presented to Her Royal Highness. On the 28th of March of that year, the remains of Charles the First had been discovered in the vault of Henry the Eighth, at Windsor, a circumstance which suggested to George Cruikshank his admirable satire entitled, _Meditations amongst the Tombs_. It shows us His Royal Highness gazing at the recovered bodies, and regretting that while Henry had managed to dispose of many wives, _he_ found it impossible to get rid of one. A figure behind him points to the headless corpse, and significantly remarks, "How rum King Charley looks without his head!" The Battle of Vitoria (fought this year) forms the subject of a pair of roughly executed caricatures, entitled respectively, _The Battle of Vitoria_, and _A Scene after the Battle, or More Trophies for Whitehall_. Other satires of the year, are _Double Bass_, and _A Venomous Viper Poisoning the R--l Mind_, the latter as coarsely and indelicately handled a subject as any caricaturist of the old school might possibly desire. 1814.
