Abstract:
"Uncle Toby (right) marches from right to left, a crutch under his left arm, pointing with his right crutch towards the fortifications (left) built on the bowling green, where the 'Gate of St Nicolas' is flanked on each side by a jack-boot. In his left hand he holds the 'London Gazette'. Trim, holding up a pickaxe, marches in front of his master. He has a long pig-tail, and a pad is tied over his left knee. On the ground behind is a grenadier's cap. Behind Uncle Toby is the sentry-box, in it is pasted up the plan of a fortification. The background is a rough paling behind which are trees. Shandy Hall appears behind the Gate of St. Nicolas. Beneath the design is engraved, "What an honest triumph in my Uncle Toby's Eyes as he march'd to the Ramparts with the Gazette in his hand & Trim with a pickaxe ready to execute the Contents; what intense pleasure in his Eyes as he stood over the Corporal! Heaven! Earth! Sea!"--British Museum online catalogue

"An illustration to Scarron's 'Roman Comique' (1651), Book II, ch. xx. The scene is the room of an inn. Ragotin, almost bald, sits in an upright chair wearing a long sword and jack boots; his legs do not reach the ground. The ram (left), on its hind-legs, is about to butt him. The encounter is watched by a man who leans on the back of his chair, by another seated behind the ram, and by a third standing between Ragotin and a group of two ladies and a man on the right, one being Inezilla, who had just been reading her novel. Behind this group are the curtains of a bed."--British Museum online catalogue
