Summary

DescriptionFrontispiece 1863 Woodstock-whole.png	Frontispiece to Woodstock by Walter Scott. Shown as whole page with other pages and cover visible behind. This page occurs about halfway through the volume, which also contains a frontispiece to The Talisman. The caption states " 'Bevis' ". The final paragraph of the novel, and its accompanying footnote, read: "I have only to add that his faithful dog did not survive him many days; and that the image of Bevis lies carved at his master's feet, on the tomb which was erected to the memory of Sir Henry Lee of Ditchley. "[Footnote: It may interest some readers to know that Bevis, the gallant hound, one of the handsomest and active of the ancient Highland deer-hounds, had his prototype in a dog called Maida, the gift of the late Chief of Glengarry to the author. A beautiful sketch was made by Edwin Landseer, and afterwards engraved. I cannot suppress the avowal of some personal vanity when I mention that a friend, going through Munich, picked up a common snuff-box, such as are sold for one franc, on which was displayed the form of this veteran favourite, simply marked as Der lieblung hund von Walter Scott. Mr. Landseer's painting is at Blair-Adam, the property of my venerable friend, the Right Honourable Lord Chief Commissioner Adam.]"
