Inscribed at the top of the title page "To George Dalziel with the best regards of Geo. Cruikshank / Janry. 1874."
George Dalziel (1815-1902) and his brother Edward (1817-1905) founded Dalziel Brothers engravers in 1839 and were the most famous in their trade until photo-mechanical processes superseded the need for engravers. A fine association.
