This print is one of ten illustrations in 'Songs of the Late Charles Dibdin' (with some others) collected by his son Thomas Dibdin (John Murray, London, 1841) f. p.207. It shows a seaman giving his last shilling to the wife and child of a poor shipmate in the street of a harbour town. Below another man in civilian dress, down to his last shilling, sits in his garret with the same coin on the table. The related song of the same title, facing, is the shilling telling him the tale of the generous sailor. For a full list of the illustrations see PAJ1820 (the first). [PvdM 1/18]
