CRUIKSHANK, George
Probable Effects of Over Female Emigration.
Bogue, c. London, 1851. Hancoloured etching; 144 x 393 mm., with original folds, in excellent condition, framed. An excellent example of the well-known satirical print "Probable Effects of Over Female Emigration or Importing the Fair Sex from the Savage Islands in Consequence of Exporting all our own to Australia!!!!!", which was issued with Cruikshank's The Comic Almanac for 1851.
Throughout the first decades of settlement, men outnumbered women to an extraordinary degree, resulting in grave social problems. Active attempts to address the imbalance included immigration drives for women in Britain. Cruikshank's burlesque cartoon is in response to the exodus of women who took up offers of assisted passage to Australia, and in so doing created a critical shortage of women in England. Cruikshank's dockside scene depicts a crowd of pallid, quivering Englishmen who have come to greet the arrival of a ship load of Pacific Island women who have responded to the desperate call for female immigration.
