About the series
A single-issue comic published by Humphrey from 1818 to 1821, The Sailor’s Progress is a satirical series by George Cruikshank, the era's most prominent caricaturist. It follows the misadventures of a hapless sailor through a sequence of engraved plates, offering a sharp, humorous look at naval life in Regency England. Cruikshank’s detailed, expressive artwork makes this a notable early example of sequential visual storytelling in British print culture.
