| Description |
English: Seven members of the City Militia, much caricatured, march (left to right.) in profile. First, the drummer, short and enormously stout, beating his drum; next a lean and stooping officer looking on the ground, his drawn sword in his left hand. Then come two pairs of men carrying, at different angles, muskets with bayonets; they wear military uniform and gaiters, but are shambling along in a very unsoldierly manner. Last comes a hunchback, holding a spear in his left hand and marching with vigour. Two birds fly over their heads. 10 April 1777

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
