Sobre este artículo
London: Punch, 1853. Ephemera. The folding frontispiece and contiguous title page for Punch's Pocket-Book for 1853. Inspired by the recent discovery of gold in Australia, the image shows a crowd of comely young women off to find rich husbands in Australia, rejecting their suitors in England. Their British suitors have begged some to stay. The women's replies are "A Cottage! Fiddle-de dee - Sir!" and "Bother yer Hunderd (sic) Pounds, and House in the Public line! a likely Start indeed!" . The women are on the wharf and descending a ladder to the boat that will ferry them to the clipper to Australia.
