Titelvignet til Smollett "Peregrine Pickles Tildragelser" 1786

This is a title vignette for "Peregrine Pickles Tildragelser," a Danish translation of Tobias Smollett's novel *The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle*, by the Danish artist Georg Christian Schule in 1786. The vignette shows a scene of a man being dragged by two others, a motif which is likely drawn from the novel's plot. The artwork is a fine example of the style of book illustration popular in the late 18th century. The use of engraving and the dramatic composition create a sense of urgency and intrigue, drawing the viewer into the story.
