Scope and Contents
Original illustration - pencil and watercolor on paper - of two workers resting under a tree, apparently on a residential estate. The illustration (4 3/4" x 5", no signature, no date)is mounted on a tan page removed from the Album. Below the illustration is a handwritten quotation, "The Labourer drops the scythe and desists from his work-", likely transcribed by Parkes. The quotation was taken from "Meditations and Contemplations..." by the Rev. James Hervey.
