“Watching and Waiting” is an almost full page book plate image, taken from “Chatterbox”, published by Estes & Lauriat, Boston, in 1882. The sad anecdote accompanying the illustration provides us with the following: “One thick foggy morning a foreman in the Docks was missing. Many hours were spent in searching for him, until at length attention was directed to a little terrier, shivering and whining close to the brink of one of the docks. It was recognised, after a time, as the dog belonging to the missing man; and the water below was immediately dragged. The poor fellow’s body was soon drawn out, with his bunch of keys tightly grasped in his hand.”
Prints currently available in both A4 and A3 sizing options.
