George Cruikshank was an illustrator in England during the 1800’s. He is most noted as illustrator for his friend Charles Dickens. Here, he depicts the Cyprian’s Ball at the Argyle Rooms – an annual event thrown by regency era courtesan Harriette Wilson – where the evening would, in her words, “begin in waltz and devolve into the most delightful debauchery”.
