Dr. Syntax Reading His Tour in the Kitchen of the Dun Cow, c1815, (1943)
Dr. Syntax Reading His " Tour" in the Kitchen of the Dun Cow, c1815, (1943). Syntax now felt a strong desire, To smoke his pipe by kitchen fire...When, having supp d and drunk his ale, And silence seeming to prevail, He slowly from his pocket took, His travelling memorandum book...Each hearer, as th infection crept, O er the numb d sense, unconscious slept! One dropp d his pipe - another snor d, His bed of down an oaken board; The cobbler yawn d, then sunk to rest, His chin reclining on his breast: All slept at length but Tom and Sue, For they had something else to do. Combe and Rowlandsons comic character Dr Syntax is reading to fellow guests in the Dun Cow inn - most of them are yawning or asleep while Tom and Sue canoodle in the corner by the fire. Illustration from Combes " Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque". Published in " English Inns", by Thomas Burke. [Collins, London, 1943]

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the early 19th century as we witness Dr. Syntax Reading His Tour in the Kitchen of the Dun Cow. The renowned comic character created by Combe and Rowlandson comes to life as he regales his fellow guests with tales from his adventurous journey. As Dr. Syntax sits comfortably by the warm kitchen fire, a strong desire for relaxation overcomes him, prompting him to reach into his pocket and retrieve his trusty pipe. However, it seems that his storytelling prowess has an unexpected effect on those around him. One by one, the listeners succumb to a contagious drowsiness that permeates through their senses. Pipes fall from hands, heads nod onto oaken boards, and even the cobbler finds solace in slumber with chin resting upon chest. Amidst this sea of sleepers lies Tom and Sue - two souls who find themselves immune to Dr. Syntax's enchanting words. Ignoring their surroundings entirely, they steal a moment of intimacy in a corner near the crackling fire. This delightful illustration captures not only the whimsical charm of Combe's beloved character but also provides us with a glimpse into life at an English inn during this era. It is no wonder why Thomas Burke chose to include it in his book "English Inns" allowing readers to experience both history and humor within its pages.
