One officer is depicted as an elderly man with a tall and lanky stature, while the other officer is portrayed as a child. Their contrasting ages symbolize the timeless bond between generations. Standing guard at the doorway is a third officer, characterized by his rotund figure and knock-kneed stance. His presence adds an element of humor to the composition while also emphasizing the importance of security during these historic times. The shop windows behind them are filled with an array of fruits and sweets, evoking nostalgia for traditional treats that were enjoyed centuries ago. This detailed artwork showcases Gillray's illustrative technique and his ability to capture historical moments with precision and charm. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported into a world steeped in history - where heroes recruit amidst everyday life scenes like visiting confectioners' shops.
