Summary
A thin man wearing a coat with military facings, draws after him (right to left.) a small four-wheeled carriage, similar to a bath-chair or perambulator, inscribed Cox Heath. In it sits a child with a doll. A dog stands at her feet barking at the man who draws the carriage, who has a bundle strapped to his back, apparently containing hay. At the back of the carriage in the place of a footman stands a ragged dwarfish man. On the farther side of the carriage is a recruiting sergeant playing a fife. In the foreground (right) a fat woman, the wife of the man drawing the carriage, walks along carrying a basket containing bottles and a large umbrella in her right hand; a musket is tucked under her left arm. She and the three men all wear oak-leaves in their hats. In the distance the tents of the camp are indicated. An inscription beneath the title has been cut off.
One of a number of satires on the militia and the camp of Coxheath, see BMSat 5523, &c. 1 January 1780
Etching
Traditionally made at home from surplus materials and usually stuffed, they are some of the oldest children's toys in the world. The British Museum has a rag doll from ancient Rome, found in a child's grave, dating from the first to fifth centuries AD. Historically, rag dolls were used for comfort and to teach parenting skills to young children. They were often used to teach sewing, as children could practice sewing doll clothes and make simple dolls themselves. Mass production of rag dolls began in the 1830s when colour printing on cloth was first developed. Today, many rag dolls are produced on an industrial scale to mimic the characteristics of the original handmade dolls, such as simple features, soft cloth bodies and patchwork clothing.
