That's cool about the Hogarth prints, too—a nice 18th century meme :D

I remember the narrator in Tristram Shandy giving some incredibly detailed descriptions of what pose somebody’s in i.e. Corporal Trim while he’s reading, where we’re practically told the angle at which his arm is bent; all the funnier since the narrator wasn’t even there to see it, he was upstairs being born at that moment.
