Summary[edit]

Description Frontispiece for Cruikshank's Table Book. It shows Cruikshank, a spaniel on his knee, enjoying a pipe-dream, surrounded by dozens of people and fantasy creatures. Behind him, a miniature Cruikshank is shown making a portrait of the artist – so there are three self-portraits in all. The Latin motto is ex fumo dare lucem (from smoke, light).
