"Juvenile Monstrosities" is a series of satirical illustrations created by the British artist George Cruikshank (1792–1878), first published in 1820. Cruikshank, renowned for his social and political caricatures, used this series to critique the contemporary fashion trends among the youth of the Regency era. The illustrations depict exaggerated figures of children dressed in the styles of adults, with the intent of mocking the absurdity of the fashion and the practice of dressing young children in such a manner.

The series is notable for its humorous yet pointed commentary on the societal norms of the time, particularly the influence of fashion on identity and the imposition of adult customs on the young. Cruikshank's work often targeted the follies and vices of society, and "Juvenile Monstrosities" is no exception, offering a visual critique that resonates with the artist's larger body of work, which includes famous illustrations for Charles Dickens' novels and other social satires.

"Juvenile Monstrosities" reflects Cruikshank's skill in the art of caricature, a genre in which he was a leading figure during the 19th century. His ability to blend wit with artistic craftsmanship is evident in the detailed engravings that make up the series. The illustrations were widely circulated and contributed to the public discourse on fashion and social conventions, demonstrating the power of visual satire to influence opinion and highlight the absurdities of societal trends.

As with many of Cruikshank's works, "Juvenile Monstrosities" continues to be of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of caricature, fashion history, and Regency-era culture. The series is an important example of the role of art in social critique and the enduring legacy of George Cruikshank as a commentator on the human condition through his incisive and entertaining illustrations.
