Notes:
Etching for the November issue of "George Cruikshank's Table Book." Like Cruikshank's glyphograph in the same issue ("Mr.
John Bull, in Keeley's celebrated character of Willibald, in the Popular Extravaganza of The Bottle Imp") this print illustrates
a brief article on railroad speculation by the periodical's editor, Gilbert Abbott a Beckett.
