Excerpt from Cruikshank's Water Colours The story of the, injury, fanciful or real, was lengthy and vexatious, and for the most part rather filled the minds of the artist's best-wishers with dismay; but as there had never been Offered during Dickens's lifetime any sort Of disproof that the 'parish Boy's Progress, ' as a pictorial suite, was one Of George Cruikshank's numerous fruitful original suggestions, and The Miser's Daughter scheme was Obviously completely his own as regards the main idea of representing fashionable 'life in London in the days of Hogarth, just as 'life in London' of his jaunty youth had been by his hand portrayed in the Corinthian epoch Of the Sportive Tom and Jerry doings under the Regency era, the question in some degree resolved itself into the distinctions between inspiration and clever hack-work, the art Of making the best possible use of suggested materials, wherein the faculty of imagination makes the workman. The artist demonstrated that his genius invented both series graphically, that the drawings, in the first instance designed to simply tell the story on his own lines, later suggested the development Of their ideas to his literary collaborateurs, at least as concerns the projection Of Oliver Twist and The Mser's Daughter alike, both series strongly characteristic of Cruikshank's own peculiar genius; and confessedly the evidences of the drawings completely justify his not unreasonable contention. These original designs, executed as water-colour drawings, are all in existence, and are here reproduced in facsimile.
