- Abstract
-
"A wooded scene in the immediate suburbs of London, with St. Paul's in the background. Two 'cits' with guns prepare to fire, since their dog points at a bush, behind which, concealed from the sportsmen, squats a man excreting (left). A man holding a powder-flask watches with amusement from the top of a gate (right). Another dog sits in the foreground (right). Beneath the title is engraved: 'Against the Wind he takes his prudent way, While the strong Gale directs him to the prey; Now the warm scent assures the covey near, He treads with caution & he points with fear. Gay. -------------------------clausisque expectat ocellis; θυμπον---------------------------------------------'."--British Museum online catalogue
