- Abstract
-
"Heading to a moral tale, 'By the late Dr. Lyon', etched in two columns. A goose approaches the edge of a pond (left) carrying a struggling fox which it holds by the neck. There is a realistic landscape background with a substantial village inn in the distance (right). The text relates how a beloved publican kept a humble little ale-house, the sign of the Goose. A rival built a larger house with 'three rooms . . . drinking glasses instead of horns', intending to monopolize custom, with the sign, a fox running off with a goose. Two farmers then enabled the keeper of 'the Goose' 'to out-top his rival in a house and furniture', with a sign of his own device, the Goose running away with the Fox."--British Museum online catalogue
