Alarming prospect 1853 / Leech
Alarming prospect - The single ladies ladies off to the diggings. The early days of the Victorian gold rush were famously male dominated, though the popularity of Ellen Clacy's work A Lady's Visit to the Gold Diggings in 1852-1853 may have been the inspiration for this illustration by John Leech
