The Steam Boat.

[H. Heath.]

Hand-coloured etching; paper watermarked: 1822. Plate 370 x 255mm (14½ x 10"). Trimmed on right. Small margins on 3 sides.
Satire; a fashionable but queasy lady on the deck of a steamboat in windy weather, her hand to her throat, saying, 'Its werry pleasant a board a steamer sir?'; a more stoical man with his hands in his pockets replies, 'Werry indeed marm - but I likes a vun hoss shase [one-horse chaise] better it doesen't rumble vun so-'.
