About this work

A hand-coloured satirical print titled Smuggling - Corn from Egypt!!! by John Cawse, dated 1800. Several sailing ships tow blue ropes across the sea toward a shore where a Scottish highlander in tartan embraces a gentleman in a red coat, while a figure in a long coat and wide hat leans on a cane and listens. Speech bubbles carry the satirical dialogue about grain shortages.
