EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by George Cruikshank, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable act of kindness. The scene depicts Joseph Grimaldi, the legendary clown and performer, extending his generosity towards a group of giants. As we delve into the image, it becomes evident that Grimaldi's compassion knows no bounds.

It is an enchanting display of acceptance and unity between individuals from vastly different backgrounds. This print serves as an illustration for the Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi edited by Charles Dickens. It beautifully captures the essence of their collaboration - two creative geniuses coming together to create something truly magical.
