Excerpt from Wit and Humor of the Age: Comprising Wit, Humor, Pathos, Ridicule, Satires, Dialects, Puns, Conundrums, Riddles, Charades, Jokes and Magic
So, I say, the caricaturists like John Leech and Cruikshanks are wits, while the true artist like Schryer can never be any. Thing but a humorist, as long as he sticks to the absolute truth.
