"Tirailleur Francais, et Chevau Leger de l'Armée du Pacha de Rhodes"-Evolutions of the French Mounted Riflemen', James Gillray, 1799

A magnificently mounted turk (right) raises his spear to transfix a ragged french soldier who is about to be thrown by the donkey (cf. Bmsat 9357) whose ear he clutches. The frenchman's musket is awkwardly held and goes off innocuously; defence is impossible. See bmsat 9355, &c. 12 march 1799 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1799. Dimensions: Height: 256 mm; Width: 355 mm. Medium: paper. Collection: British Museum. "Tirailleur Francais, et Chevau Leger de l'Armée du Pacha de Rhodes"-Evolutions of the French Mounted Riflemen' (BM 1868,0808.6831)
