Image title: Symptoms of the finish of "some sorts of life" - Tom, Jerry & Logic in the Press Yard at Newgate, 'Life in London, etc.', by Pierce Egan, 1823 (colour litho)
Artist: Cruikshank, George (1792-1878) / English
Location: British Library, London, UK
Medium: colour lithograph
Date: 1823 AD (C19th AD)

Image description: Described as ‘a faithful Portraiture of High & Low Life’ from the West End to the East End, Pierce Egan’s comical monthly publication Life in London was one of the popular sensations of its day. The central characters – Tom, Jerry and Logic – were well-heeled young men about town, keen to see ‘a bit of life’ in the poorer districts of London. Their escapades and misadventures were largely autobiographical, being drawn from the lives of Egan himself and his illustrators, George and Robert Cruikshank and Isaac Richard.
