Single sheet, (image 270x261mm on paper 307x280mm). A satirical stipple engraving printed in sepia. Carrying the Arabic number 2 in the top left-hand corner and 11 (or Roman 2) in manuscript in the top right. Trimmed within the plate mark with the presumed loss of any imprint and mounted on near-contemporary blue sugar paper. A fine and crisp image. Two soldiers line up thee unpromising recruits outside The Old Fortune public house. The signboards shows a soldier who has lost his left arm and right leg. The satire is reinforced by an image of a forlorn looking woman sat by a wall with an empty basket - possibly a soldier's starving widow. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 24230

Anbieterinformationen

We are located some 20 minutes drive from the M6, Junction 38 and therefore only a 20 mile detour from the main England-Scotland route. Appleby is a town well worth a visit, the coffee pot is always on though refreshment with �a little more authority' can be had if the Crown & Cushion in the town's market square is open! Our Bookroom is open by appointment. We will be happy to send pdf copies of our catalogue by email.
