Wimbledon workers, 1881. Wimbledon Rifle Meeting. 'Markers at rest; Multum in Parvo; The Black Brigade; the Policeman's Lot is Not a Happy One; Between Fire; Besieged; Pity the poor "reg'lar"!; Half and half...The Sketch of "Markers at Rest," with their bodies and limbs helplessly sprawling on the turf, beats a painful resemblance to some views taken upon an actual battle-field after the fighting was done. But the queer effects of a variety of accidental or customary doings, in the tented field of suburban encampment and martial exercise, have not escaped the notice of observant and mildly satirical artists. Rest and "refreshments," as might be expected during the hot weather of these fine days in July, occupy their due place, to say the least of it, in the subjects here delineated'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
