A group of drawings that illustrate select scenes from Laurence Sterne's novel The life and opinions of Tristram Shandy, gentleman. The drawings vary in level of detail and completeness; one is a slight pencil sketch, two are more detailed drawings in pen and ink over pencil, and three are elaborate drawings in ink and wash. The drawings are bound in as either the frontispiece or before the frontispiece, one in each of the six volumes of the eighth edition of the work.
