Commentary
In 1855 the Nautical Magazine published an article on R.B. Forbes's steam demi-bark, "Antelope." The article included a lithograph of the vessel made after a painting by Lane. J. P. Newell is signed on the stone in the lower right corner, indicating that he was the artist who lithographed Lane's design. The lithograph for the magazine was printed on tissue-weight paper, and hand-colored. (for example, Steam demi bark Antelope, 615 tons, c.1855 (inv. 375)) A stand-alone version (Steam demi bark Antelope, 615 tons, c.1855 (inv. 740)) was printed on a heavier paper, hand-colored and printed with a tint stone outlining the sky. This lithograph is a third version which has an inscription indicating the original place of publication in the Nautical Magazine. The painting from which this lithograph was made is likely the grisaille painting The "Antelope", 1855 (inv. 678).
