Comments:After a painting commissioned by Hastings, now in a private collection. The background has been adapted for the print, as the painting shows the yak in the surroundings of Hasting’s estate at Daylesford in Gloucestershire, and is described in the book as depicting “a scene on the frontier of the Bootan”. The engraver is anonymous.
