The Newcastle Collier on his “homeway way.”

Portrait of a Shrew.

Engraving by Thomson.

When Steam was first introduced it naturally called forth much ‘text’ and illustration. Theabovewe believe to be designed by ‘Cromek.’ Miss Bewick spoke highly of him; he was one of the ‘Boys’ or pupils in Bewick’s School. He executed some choice vignettes for ‘Burns’s Poems,’ much in Luke Clennell’s style, Bewick’s favourite pupil.

Engraved by John Thomson, Branstone, and Williams; used at Chiswick Press.

This woodcut did duty for “Arabian Nights,” “Bluebeard,” etc.; probably designed by Cruikshank, engraved by Branstone.
