"Tom and Jerry Sporting Their Blunt on the Phenomenon Monkey Jacco Macacco at the Westminster Pit" is an illustration by Isaac Robert Cruikshank and George Cruikshank, two notable British artists and caricaturists of the 19th century. The artwork is part of a series that visually narrates the adventures of the fictional characters Tom and Jerry, created by Pierce Egan in his 1821 book "Life in London, or Days and Nights of Jerry Hawthorn, Esq. and his elegant friend Corinthian Tom." The Cruikshank brothers' illustrations were instrumental in popularizing Egan's work, bringing the vivid and often raucous urban scenes of Regency-era London to life.

This particular illustration depicts a scene at the Westminster Pit, a notorious venue for animal fighting, which was a popular but brutal form of entertainment during the period. The central figure of the image, the "phenomenon monkey" named Jacco Macacco, was a real fighting monkey that gained fame in the early 19th century for participating in such battles, often against dogs, to the amusement of spectators. The depiction of Tom and Jerry in the company of Jacco Macacco reflects the characters' exploration of various urban subcultures and entertainments, including the darker and more controversial aspects of London life.

The artwork serves as a historical document, capturing the zeitgeist of the time and providing insight into the social practices and attitudes towards animal welfare. It also showcases the Cruikshank brothers' skill in caricature and social commentary, as they often used their art to critique the excesses and vices of society. The illustration is a testament to the popularity of the Tom and Jerry series and the impact of the Cruikshanks' work on the visual culture of the era.
