Abstract:
"A group of men standing outside a dilapidated building, part of which is visible on the right. One, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, holds in his left hand a torn paper on which parts of words are visible: "[Pet]itio[n] ... [Fr]eehold[rs] . . . Minist[ry] . . ." His right forefinger is extended as if laying down the law to his companions. On his right stands a man holding his chin with an expression of deep thought. In his right hand is (?) a turncock. Next him (left) is an artisan, listening intently, his breeches unfastened at the knee, his stockings ungartered; he holds a short hammer and is probably a shoemaker. Behind (right) a man wearing a waistcoat over a ruffled shirt, but no coat, lounges against the stump of a tree and listens open-mouthed. On the top of the stump is an open dish of food which a dog is eating, his head twisted backwards in a peculiar manner."--British Museum online catalogue

LWL 49 2528B: Bound in blue morocco. One MS. corr. (p. 34), LWL 49 2528B: Horace Walpole's copy--the one kept in the Beauclerc closet to explain Lady Diana Beauclerk's drawings.--cf. Horace Walpole's note; 1784 Description, p. 79., LWL 49 2528B: xviii. 31 in Strawberry Hill sale. Later owners include Col. George Lionel Dawson-Damer; Col. John Aldridge., LWL 49 2528B: Thorpe, Sept. 1944., and The copy in blue morocco kept with Lady Di's drawings in the Beauclerk Closet. When Horace Walpole described the Beauclerk Closet in detail in the Description of the Villa, 1784, he recorded a copy of the Mysterious Mother kept in a drawer of the writing table, 'bound in blue leather and gilt.' On a flyleaf of the book he wrote: 'This copy is to be kept in the Beauclerck CIoset to explain Lady Di's drawings. H.W.' Mr. H.M. Nixon believes this was bound by the man who bound the presentation copy of Wood's Essay on Homer.
