At left, a older man falls backward after being shot, near a doctor who shelters below a bank with implements at the ready. Rowlandson etched this set after drawings by Willyams, a university-educated lieutenant-colonel from Cornwall who also supplied supporting satirical text under the pseudonym Joel McCringer.
