Description

Mock-up for layout of page for Rip Van Winkle book on heavy cardstock, includes text and illustrations: small drawing of Wolf's head in text; larger drawing, on right margin of same Van Winkle dressed in cap, neckerchief, bodice, sleeves, skirt, apron, stockings and buckled shoes holds broom over one shoulder to threaten Wolf; Wolf, on other side of layout runs, frightened, with tail between his legs; text sketched out reads as follows: "...the only side which, in truth, belongs to a hen-pecked husband./Rip's sole domestic adherent was his dog Wolf, who was as/much henpecked as his master, for dame Van Winkle regarded/them as companions in idleness, and even/looked upon Wolf with an evil eye, as the cause of his master's going so often astray./True it is, in all points of spirit befitting an/honorable dog, he was as courageous AN ANIMAL/as ever scoured the woods-but what courage. can withstand the ever-during and all besetting/terrors of a woman's tongue? The moment/Wolf entered the house, his crest fell, his tail/dropped to the ground,/or curled between his legs, he/sneaked about with gallow/air, casting many a sidelong glance at Dame Van Winkle,/and at the least flourish of a broom-stick or ladle/he would fly to the door with yelping precipitations."
