Emigrants on board SS Great Britain

These watercolours framed as one, constitute part of a collection of other similarly framed items almost certainly removed from a travelling sketch book. Most watercolours are inscribed and many refer to The SS Great Britain in the 1850's and no doubt these works were produced on one of the journeys made to Australia by that particular ship.
