Description:
Title from text below image., Date of publication supplied by cataloger., Reproduction of an etching by George Cruikshank, after a drawing by Frederick Marryat; Cruikshank's "etched by G.C." signature and Marryat's artist's device (an anchor tilted diagonally) are reproduced and legible beneath the design, as is the original imprint "London, Pubd. June 5th, 1824, by G. Humphrey, 24 St. James's Street.", Orignal etching was presumably an early state of a plate more widely published with the title "To Calais." For the state following the title change, which has the same G. Humphrey imprint and lists the same publication date, see no. 14719 in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum, v. 10. The plate retained this latter title when it was reissued in: Cruikshankiana. London : Published by Thomas M'Lean, 26, Haymarket, [1835]., A companion print entitled "From the West Indies" has the same signatures and imprint statement as the original etching; see no. 14718 in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum, v. 10., Cf. Cohn, A.M. George Cruikshank: a catalogue raisonné, 2036., and Cf. Reid, G.W. Descriptive catalogue of the works of George Cruikshank, 1249.
