William Hogarth Trophy A Stand Of Arms
William Hogarth created this print as a receipt for the engraved version of his painting The March of the Guards to Finchley, a satirical depiction of English troops leaving London to counter the Scottish Jacobite uprising in 1746. The weaponry of the rebellious Scots (including bagpipes) is pictured at left; at right are the more ‘civilised’ English weapons.
