Le tout mis en ordre & executé à Leide, par Pierre vander Aa [1729?]
"Boswell (left) and Johnson (right) talk across a small circular table on which is a candle. Boswell leans on the table, with raised fingers, talking vivaciously. Johnson leans back as if asleep, his stick between his outstretched legs. Through an open door (left) is seen the back of Mrs. Boswell hurrying from the room. A bracket-clock points to 1.55. A dog looks up at Boswell yawning. The floor is boarded."--British Museum online catalogue
