| Notes |
To the right, three soldiers stand at attention outside of a tent, each holding bayoneted muskets. Two of the figures wear high plumed busbies, with the third figure wearing a three-cornered hat. Holding a bayonet against his shoulder, the figure to the left of the image gives the word of command. Behind this figure, two faintly engraved figures can be seen. In the foreground, two rugged men are depicted. They point jeeringly towards the soldiers, and were likely intended to represent Gordon Rioters. Upon the floor, a young drummer boy places a plumbed busby on the head of a dog. During the Gordon Riots of 1780, camps were established in London in Hyde Park, St. James's Park, and the garden of the British Museum, and remained there for several weeks.
