About this Item
Description:
Handcolored etching, 7 1/4 x 17 1/4 inches, matted to 13 1/2 x 23 inches. Old fold lines, minor wear. Very good. Matted. An excellent example of this satirical print drawn by illustrator and cartoonist George Cruikshank, and issued with his THE COMIC ALMANAC for 1851. Cruikshank was a notable artist who contributed illustrations to the works of Charles Dickens, among others. Throughout the first decades of Australian settlement, men outnumbered women to an extraordinary degree, resulting in grave social problems for the new colony. Active attempts to address the imbalance included immigration drives for women in Britain. Cruikshank's burlesque cartoon imagines that the supposed exodus of women who took up offers of assisted passage to Australia has created a critical shortage of women in England. His dockside scene depicts the ship- load of Pacific Island women - all of whom are drawn as African savages with exaggerated Black features, some with stretched ears, etc. - who have responded to the desperate call of the crowd of pallid Englishmen, greeting them upon arrival.

Condition: Good + overall. 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. Engraved and hand colored with 4 vertical folds. 15 1/2 x 6" with margins. Slt fox spotting at margins, small splits at folds. Seller Inventory # 25056
