Summary
Pencil drawing of a marmoset or similar animal balanced on the branch of a tree. The drawing is on a loose sheet slipped into the book 'The Instructive Picture Book, or a few attractive lessons from the natural history of animals', but it does not appear to be copied from any of the plates in the book. See also HIL.R.323, the book into which the drawing was slipped; and HIL.R.323.1, a drawing which was copied from the book.
