Abstract

"Engraving, described in the advertisement as 'General Paoli, Dr Johnson, and the Journalist practising his celebrated Imitations'. Johnson and Paoli drag Boswell (right to left) in a roughly constructed child's go-cart. Boswell sits jauntily, kept in place by a stick across his seat; from his mouth issues a blast inscribed 'Moo o oh'. He wears ordinary English dress with a barrister's wig and bands and a Scots cap decorated by two bells; behind his ear is a pen, an ink-bottle is fastened to his coat, in his right hand is a rattle, in the left a book inscribed 'Ogden'. Round his neck is a portrait-medallion inscribed 'Bruce'. From each side of the cart projects a bulky book: 'Corsica' and 'Journal to the Hebri[des]', On the near side of the cart is the monogram 'JB' surmounted by a fool's cap."--British Museum online catalogue
