John Atkinson's military scenes
John Augustus Atkinson specialised in book illustrations, many of them military scenes. These two drawings were probably made in preparation for prints, and then sold once Atkinson had no further need of them. George was an eager collector of such scenes, which showed the adventure and camaraderie of military life that he found so appealing.
