Satirical cartoon, Village Cavalry practising in a farm yard

Satirical cartoon, Village Cavalry practising in a farm yard. This comic print mocks the discipline of a volunteer village cavalry'. In the background is an enormous melee. In the foreground chaos ensues. The cavalry comprises yokels wielding a blunderbuss, a pitchfork, a flail and a club. They ride horses with very little control and are caught up with a bull fighting a dog. The blunderbuss has clumsily been fired and a man hides down a well
