An effigy of guy vaux seated in a chair supported on poles is carried (right to left) by a party of boys. The guy wears a tie-wig, a tattered, old-fashioned coat, and holds a lantern and bundle of matches. The boys are dressed as soldiers: some wear wooden swords and military hats. In the foreground (left) is a drummer, his high cap inscribed 'huzza for king george'. A large spaniel runs beside the procession. 13 march 1787
