	The Cape Horner is characteristic of Frederick Owen's greatest engraved work. His depiction of both the famous ship and the turbulent seas through which she sails is particularly well conceived. As well, for this particular impression, Frederick L. Owen has inscribed in pencil the first two lines of this well known nautical poem,
	"I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by."
