[Implied text/meaning: Flying Dutchman, a spectral ship, seen in stormy weather off the Cape of Good Hope, and considered ominous of ill-luck. Sir Walter Scott says she was originally a vessel laden with precious metal, but a horrible murder having been committed on board, the plague broke out among the crew, and no port would allow the vessel to enter. The ill-fated ship still wanders about like a ghost, doomed to be sea-tossed, but never more to enjoy rest.] (Source: The University of Kent, British Cartoon Archive)
A rectangular hole has been cut out from the cartoon in the bottom right corner, where a request has been made to move the position of Gibbard's name. |
