DROLLERIES OF THE STEAM ENGINE.
When Steam was first introduced it naturally called forth much 'text'
and illustration. The above we believe to be designed by 'Cromek.' Miss
Bewick spoke highly of him; he was one of the 'Boys' or pupils in
Bewick's School. He executed some choice vignettes for 'Burns's Poems,'
much in Luke Clennell's style, Bewick's favourite pupil.
