Beschreibung

A politically incorrect cartoon published in Cruikshank's "Comic Almanack". Cruikshank draws his usual comic scene, situated on the Dover Coast. On the left of this panoramic print is a rather bemused looking group of 'dandies' & soldiers, looking at the group of African women who have just arrived on the ship in the Channel behind them. Men jostle to get down the stairs to the women, not yet seeing who has arrived. The center ground is held by a stout and smug wheeler-dealer, ready to make a match between the two parties. Etching with original hand color, highlighted with gum arabic, with 4 vertical folds. 15 1/2 x 6" with margins. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 13631
