Summary edit

Description A tail-piece from The General History of Quadrupeds (2nd edition). Austin Dobson (1840-1921), the poet and biographer, describes it thus: "The tottering child, whose nurse is seen in the background, has strayed into the meadow, and is pulling at the tail of a vicious-looking colt, with back-turned eye and lifted heel. Down the garden-steps the mother hurries headlong; but she can hardly be in time" (in Andrew Lang, The Library, Chapter V)
