Abstract:

"Boswell stands on the stony shore of a loch; on the right is a small stone hut; in the background are rocky mountains. He stands with legs astride, holding out a roll of paper inscribed 'Journal'; his left hand is on his hip, and tied to his arm in the guise of a shield or target is a large bundle of manuscripts: 'Materials for the Life of Saml Johnson L.L.D.' He is dressed as in BMSat 7031 with the addition of a tartan plaid; a feather takes the place of the bells in his cap. From his pocket protrudes 'Ogden on Prayer' (see BMSat 7031). His plaid and wig are blown by the wind and he glares defiantly to the right ... "--British Museum online catalogue.
