Every image collection needs a picture of a hare or rabbit beating a drum, so here it is! Ben Jonson’s mentionm of the hare that beat the tabor at Bartholomew Fair in his time, is noticed by the indefatigable and accurate Strutt; who gives the following representation of the feat itself, which he affirms, when he copied it from a drawing in the Harleian collection, (6563,) to have been upwards of four hundred years old.” (p. 1210) |
