This is the only illustration of Jim in the shed. It illustrates the comedy of Tom's attempt to stage a romantic escape with the material at hand. That material includes "mullen," though Tom says Jim must call it "Pitchiola," adding that like the "other prisoners" he has read about in European romances, Jim must water it with his tears. Jim reluctantly agrees, though he tells Tom springwater would be better, and he adds the potentially chilling detail that "I doan' skasely ever cry." Between them, what the text and this drawing seem to do is to make the suffering of a slave purely comic; it may be hard for modern readers to laugh at the tears Jim sheds and Kemble draws, but it is impossible to take them seriously.
