This picture shows a crowded street scene with a big crowd gathered around a tall, decorated structure. People are packed tightly together, some holding umbrellas. In the background, there’s a ship and buildings lining the shore. The drawing looks busy and full of movement. The artist, George Cruikshank, made this watercolor in 1860. It’s not a quiet scene—everyone is focused on the same thing, creating a sense of excitement. Look up George Cruikshank next to see more of his work.
