Abstract

"Design in a circle. Two elderly men watch a small boy seated at a small round table, devouring a plum-pudding, with a countrified footman standing sourly behind his chair, hand in pocket. The admiring grandfather points to the child, turning to his friend: 'That Boy my good friend is a prodigy of human understanding, he is up every morning exploring the works of Nature* he will make his way through the world depend upon it - As to making his way through the world Neighbour I am no great judge but I think he seems to be in a fair road to make his way through the Pudding. *Hunting of Butterflies.' See BMSat 9810 a, p. 496."--British Museum online catalogue
