Caption

Country Road Scene in Winter - drawn by Foster, 1850. A carter pulls to one side for a stagecoach with schoolboys travelling home for the Christmas holidays. Illustration to a poem by H.: 'Less care they who crowd the roof - Happy schoolboys, overglad; To the weather Christmas-proof; Laughing, shouting, almost mad! Thoughts of home and merry times, Sing within their hearts, like chimes. Hears their shout, with answering joy, Carrier, looking from his cart; Once he was himself a boy, And is yet one in his heart. Willing, then, he turns aside - They may pass him in their pride'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
