An 1825 Satirical Aquatint By George Hunt After Robert Cruikshank

A mêlée of jovial, good-natured soldiers are playing an informal game on a country parade-ground outside barracks, where a sentry is on duty. Most are in full regimentals with plumed shako, cocked hat, or cap; one is in shirt-sleeves but all wear tight stocks. Some sprawl under the legs of the others. They struggle for position, waiting for the ball to descend. An officer canters up, and a sergeant runs towards the players. c.1825, most likely a later restrike.
