Summary
Loose sheet from the manuscript dummy HIL.R.34 containing a pencil illustration, drawn on flimsy tracing paper, for the rhyme HIL.R.34.21. The drawing, contained within a rectangular border, is of a rabbit's head appearing round the door of a burrow to find a basket of vegetables. This sheet was slipped in between pages 34 and 35 of the dummy book. See also HIL.R.34, the dummy book; HIL.R.34.1 - HIL.R.34.23 and HIL.R.34.25 - HIL.R.34.49, further rhymes and illustrations.
