Deel f. 7r - Sketches by H. E. Fox, satirising three kinds of tourists in the Lake District

1 single sheet

Three numbered sketches, as follows:

I, captioned ‘oidmatikus Lodinenses’ (= ‘London swell’), depicting a man in a top hat, carrying an umbrella and what appears to be a doctor’s bag, approaching a milestone inscribed ‘IX | KENDAL’;

II, captioned ‘oidmatikus americanus’ (= ‘American swell’), depicting a man holding his lapels and with his feet firmly planted, saying ‘Wal Sirrree. calkilate this ere is small pumpkins to our side’.

III, captioned ‘oidmatiki homocastrenses’ (= ‘Manchester swell’), depicting a large woman saying captioned ‘O La! Lets eat John' to a large man reading (‘legit‘) the following words from a guidebook: ‘The charming & romantic scenery of this exquisite lake will thrill the soul of the beholder with the wildest emotions—‘. Alongside is a man, probably a servant, sitting beside a hamper and drinking from a bottle.

Pasted to f. 7r of Add. MS a. 793.
