Passengers on a steamboat here watch as a racing stage coach overturns, sending luggage and passengers flying. The image is the frontispiece, one of a series of wood engravings, created to illustrate "Steamers v. Stages; or, Andrew and His Wife, an Aquatic Excursion by Steam," published in "Cruikshank's Comic Album: A Collection of Humorous Poetry, Illustrated With Numerous Engravings by Robert Cruikshank."
