"The Golden Remedy or Electrical Panacea" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist and illustrator George Cruikshank I (1792–1878). Known for his sharp wit and keen observation, Cruikshank produced a vast body of work that often critiqued social and political issues of his time through visual art. This particular print, which falls within the genre of political satire, serves as a commentary on the medical quackery and the public's gullibility regarding miracle cures and treatments during the 19th century.

The artwork typically features a scene where a charlatan, depicted with exaggerated features and a flamboyant demeanor, is promoting an all-encompassing cure to a crowd of eager and credulous onlookers. The "Golden Remedy" or "Electrical Panacea" is often presented as a potion or device with supposed magical healing properties, playing on the contemporary fascination with electricity and its perceived benefits. Cruikshank's illustration would have been rich in detail, with various characters reacting in different ways to the spectacle, providing a layered narrative that invites the viewer to consider the broader implications of the scene.

Cruikshank's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, offering insight into the medical practices and public perceptions of the time. His prints were widely circulated and popular among the British public, contributing to the discourse on scientific progress and skepticism towards unproven medical claims. "The Golden Remedy or Electrical Panacea" exemplifies Cruikshank's ability to blend humor with social critique, making his work an important part of the visual culture of the 19th century.

As an artist, George Cruikshank I was a contemporary of William Hogarth and James Gillray and is often remembered for his book illustrations, including those for Charles Dickens and his own publications. His legacy includes a vast collection of etchings, engravings, and paintings that continue to be studied and appreciated for their historical significance and artistic value.
