Collecting Prints for Illustrating Books.

George Cruikshank made some years ago, at Mr. Harvey's request, a little etching in
his usual spirited style, showing the outside view of the St. James's Street print shop ; the
window is represented as crowded with prints, which are receiving a due share of admira-
tion from numerous appreciative gazers. A highly respectable individual, with a parcel of
considerable dimensions under his arm, has just left ; and Mr. Harvey himself is standing
in the doorway, apparently waiting to see the last of a client who has, it may be hoped,
indulged in a considerable purchase. A few impressions only of this print were taken, but
as Mr. Harvey still holds the copperplate, collectors of Cruikshank's works may probably
succeed in obtaining an example.
