- Abstract
-
"Johnson and Boswell, attended by Ritter, depart from Boswell's house on foot; Mrs. Boswell stands in the doorway weeping and holding up a handkerchief. Johnson, his stick in his right hand, pulls Boswell by the right arm; Boswell, turning to look at his wife, weeps unrestrainedly. He holds his handkerchief to his eyes; 'Ogden' (see BMSat 7031) and the 'Journal' are under his right arm. He wears the feathered Scots cap, the pen, and barrister's wig as in BMSat 7031. His ink-bottle hangs from a buttonhole. Between Boswell and his wife stands the moustachioed Ritter wearing a wide cocked hat and holding a long stick in both hands; a large pack is on his back."--British Museum online catalogue
