Copper engraving by John Crane Dower (1791?-1847), born in London about 1791, married Elizabeth Pass in 1811. He is recorded as an engraver on the 1841 Census, living with three Elizabeth Dowers - presumably mother, wife and daughter - and his son John James Dower also recorded on the Census as engraver aged 15. He died in Feb 1847 leaving his engraving business to his two sons, John James and Frederick James Dower.

A light diagonal crease in the margin at top & bottom right corners and an ink mark in the lower rigth margin, otherwise a good example in neat line & wash hand colour.
