Scope and content
The sketch is captioned ‘Illustrations of [th]e Romans manners | 2 forms of [th]e Roman “Walker” | cf Persius. Sat i. 58.’ On the page itself is written: ‘“O Jane, a tergo quem nulla ciconia pinsit, | Nec manus auriculas imitata est mobilis albas. | – – – – – – – – – – –.[”]’ The gestures of the men in the sketch are probably intended to match those mentioned in the passage referred to.
