Abstract:
"A sequence of six scenes in compartments arranged in three pairs. [1] A foal lies beside its dam. [2] The owner leads the high-stepping animal across a race-course; behind (right) is the weighing-post. [3] Ridden by a huntsman he takes a flying leap over a wall; hounds run beside the animal. [4] He is one of a pair of galloping horses in a post-chaise, ridden by a postilion. An ugly couple sleep uneasily in the chaise. [5] As an emaciated pack-horse he plods along a rough track, thrashed by a coarse old peasant woman. [6] A huntsman stands on his dead body, cutting off the flesh for the hounds; carrion birds hover."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"In a squalid room Johnson and Boswell lie in two short truckle beds. Boswell (right) is in the foreground, his face contorted with horror, his hands before his mouth as if to stifle a scream, his bare feet drawn up, but projecting over the end of his bed. A gigantic spider descends towards his head, insects are spotted over the bedclothes and pillow, from which projects Ogden (see BMSat 7031). Johnson lies on his back (left) under a casement window, his eyes closed, his hands clasped as if in prayer, his knees drawn up to accommodate the shortness of the bed. A woman's dress hangs as an improvised curtain between the two beds. Under Johnson's bed two rats gnaw Boswell's wig."--British Museum online catalogue
