"The New Union Club" is a satirical print created by the British caricaturist and illustrator George Cruikshank in 1819. This work is a pointed social commentary on the attitudes and behaviors of the members of the British upper class towards the idea of the union of the people, which was a topic of significant political debate during the period. The print depicts a fictional club meeting, where the members, portrayed as grotesque caricatures, are engaging in a raucous and gluttonous feast. The scene is chaotic and filled with racial and social stereotypes, reflecting Cruikshank's critical view of the hypocrisy and excesses of the elite in the context of discussions about social reform and the widening of political representation.

Cruikshank was known for his sharp wit and keen observation of society, and "The New Union Club" is a prime example of his work during a period of intense political and social change in Britain. The print serves as both a historical document and a piece of political satire, offering insights into the cultural and political tensions of the time. It is also notable for its intricate detail and the artist's skill in using visual humor to convey his message.

As an artist, George Cruikshank (1792–1878) was a prominent figure in the world of British caricature and book illustration, with a career spanning over six decades. He is often remembered for his illustrations for Charles Dickens' novels and his many contributions to the satirical magazine "Punch." "The New Union Club" stands out as one of his more politically charged works, capturing the spirit of an era that was grappling with the challenges of post-Napoleonic War Britain and the push for greater democracy and social justice.
