"The Daffy Club or a Musical Muster of the Fancy" is an early 19th-century print by the British artist Robert Cruickshank. The work is a satirical illustration that reflects the social and cultural milieu of the time, particularly focusing on the boxing scene, which was an integral part of the sporting life in Regency England. Robert Cruickshank, brother of the more famous George Cruickshank, was an illustrator and caricaturist who contributed to the visual commentary on the society of his day through his detailed and often humorous prints.

The print itself depicts a lively scene with a variety of characters, each representing different aspects of the boxing world, known as "the Fancy." The term "Fancy" was colloquially used to describe the collective enthusiasts of the sport, including patrons, fighters, and spectators. Cruickshank's work often included such gatherings, showcasing the diverse nature of the crowd that the sport attracted, from the aristocracy to the working class.

In "The Daffy Club or a Musical Muster of the Fancy," Cruickshank employs his characteristic style of intricate detail and exaggerated features to capture the vibrancy and chaos of the scene. The artwork serves not only as a piece of entertainment but also as a social document, providing insight into the customs and attitudes of the time. The print is a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the Regency era's popular culture and its manifestations in visual art.

As with many works of its kind, "The Daffy Club or a Musical Muster of the Fancy" would have been circulated among the public and sold as a means of commentary on current events and public figures.
