- Abstract
-
"It illustrates 'A Duelling scene in Islington Fields by Two Macaronies', between 'a young woollen-draper' and 'a military gentleman', the theme being the citizen's reluctance to fight. The duellists in macaroni dress face each other. Their seconds are partly visible on the left and right margins of the design. The citizen (left) holding a pistol in his right hand raises his left to protect himself, dropping his other pistol. The other (right) holds a pistol in his right hand and fires another with his left."--British Museum online catalogue
