recto: lower centre mount, paper glued to mount, printed: MARY. / PAINTED BY C.R. LESLIE, R.A. / Dear Mary, you've gazed on the Serpentine skaiters, / As agile as swallows, as fleet on the wing; / Far-darting Apollos, in cloth boots and gaiters, / Whose tilts and whose tournaments make the ice wring. / Of all the blithe gala, come, paint me a picture -- / From Vulcan's red glances your countenance screen ; / And ere you deposit your furry constrictor, report what you've heard, and depict what you've seen. / James Smith, Esq. Book of Beauty, 1835
