"Tirailleur Francais, et Chevau Leger de l'Armée du Pacha de Rhodes"-Evolutions of the French Mounted Riflemen' (BM 1868,0808.6831)

A magnificently mounted Turk (right) raises his spear to transfix a ragged French soldier who is about to be thrown by the donkey (cf. BMSat 9357) whose ear he clutches. The Frenchman's musket is awkwardly held and goes off innocuously; defence is impossible. See BMSat 9355, &c. 12 March 1799
