Scope and Contents
Curate is a British term for the assistant to a vicar of the Church of England. The drawing consists of hatched fragments of an egg shell with a lower case letter on each fragment that together spell "eggshellent." Here Furnival appears to be poking fun at the British religious institution. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
