At the edge of a clearing in the forest stands a tall tree; a knight’s sword, shield and stirrup hang from the tree, and two hunting dogs are tied to it. A richly dressed man stands talking to a wood-cutter who holds his axe next to a chopped tree-trunk. In the distance we see water, and a ship being built.

Engraved by C. Sheringham for Percival Lewis Esq.r
