- Abstract
-
Framed within the image of a rustic hut decorated with garlands and ivy, on the left, a man in an outdoor coat and hat walks in a rain storm; on the right a young woman dances in a pastoral landscape as the bright sun rises behind her. Beside her on the left, lambs nibble at the grass; a cottage can be seen in the background on her right. Below the image, the lines: Peace to the artist whose ingenious thought, devised the weather-house, that useful toy! Fearless of humid air and gathering rains, Forth steps the man, an emblem of myself, more delicate his tim'rous mate retires." Below the verse a round image of three rabbits identified as Puss, Tiney & Bess
