This satirical print shows Johnson with a minute figure of Boswell in the distance. It is based on an incident in which Johnson lost his stick in Scotland. Beneath the title is engraved:' The Dr's reply to Mr B...on the loss of his Oak Stick in the Hebrides...'No, No, my Friend, it is not to be expected that any Man in Mull who has got it will part with it. Consider, Sir, the value of such a piece of Timber here!''.
