Humourous [sic] incidents of camp life, during the autumn manoeuvres : sketched and published by "request" /
Laurence, Henry Buckton,1842-1886.
London : Published by Maclure & Macdonald, 97, Queen Victoria St.,
[1875?]
Privately printed item with scenes of army camp life in the mid 1870s. The printing of the plates uses an experimental technique, with some sort of pixelation applied. The printing house Maclure and Macdonald originated in Glasgow and moved to London in 1872. The lithographs are based on drawings by army artist Henry Buckton Laurence. Laurence joined the King's Own Lancaster Regiment as an ensign in June 1861 and rose to the rank of Major in 1881. He had probably been trained as an artistic topographer at Military Academy.
