Plate XXVIII. — Bob, a Favourite Terrier, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer
Plate XXIX. — The Poacher, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer
Is not one of those who
“Take delight of a shiny night,
In the season of the year,”
to pop pheasants from their perches with an air gun, or who sets “springes to catch woodcocks,” but it is he who
“Skulks along
Sleek at the shepherd’s cost, and plump with meals
Purloined;”
“The wily Fox,” and a very beautiful animal Mr. Landseer has made of him. The description we have quoted, finds in the picture an apt illustration.
