Edinr. Royal Volunteers [graphic]Kay, John, 1742-1826, printmaker[1794][not printed before 1842]eng"An officer (right), Col. Patrick Creighton (the adjutant), standing in profile to the left, his right arm and forefinger extended, drills a body of stout volunteers who march (right to left) in a serried triangular mass in the middle distance. Behind (right) a stout officer, Captain Coulter, stands in profile to the left with drawn sword. Three men march stiffly from right to left. In the background a body of volunteers, described as the awkward squad, stands full-face. The men are conspicuous for civic portliness, and the neatness and uniformity of their dress, in contrast with contemporary satires on English militiamen, &c, cf. BMSat 8503."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from text below image.Place and date of publication conjectured from imprint of book.Probably from: A series of original portraits and caricature etchings by the late John Kay (1842 ed.).
