with a trimmed fighting cock on a table at his side, 

 and a greyhound resting- its head upon his knee, 

 and a portrait of " Dragon " hanging on the right 

 on the wall of the room in which the old man is

It was engraved by " John Jones, Engraver extra- 

 ordinary to the Prince of Wales and published 1791 

 by J. Bodger, Land Surveyor, Stilton, Hunts, and 

 at 53, High Holborn." Frampton was a great 

 character, and twelve closely-printed lines describe 

 the remarkable event of his life in connection with 

 the race-horse Dragon. The size of plate, which 

 includes the small printed matter following the 

 portrait, is 21 inches by 14 inches. In the Racing 

 Calendar for 1 790 will be found on the last page

 of the print." Mr. Bodger also supplied this print 

 and all his other published works, printed on silk,
