A scene from the Eighth Xhosa War (1850-3), with a column of soldiers attacked by Xhosa spearmen in a narrow ravine. Lieut. Colonel John Fordyce had realised that the regiment's usual scarlet tunics were not suited to African warfare, so issued his men with the olive canvas jackets shown here. He was killed at Waterkloof a month later. The war is now best known for the wreck of HMS Birkenhead in 1852. The new recruits, many destined for the 74th, stood in rank as the women and children escaped in lifeboats, commemorated in the ''Birkenhead drill'' of Rudyard Kipling's poem.

[Mary Ann Yates] Mrs. Yates.
R. Dighton Pinx.t. R. Laurie Sculp.
Pub.d as the Act Directs March 1st 1780 by W. Richardson No. 68 High Holborn
Mezzotint. 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), uncut. Glued to backing sheet on left corner.
Mary Ann Yates (née Graham) (1728-1787), actress and theatre manager. She made her debut with Garrick's Drury Lane company in 1754 and in 1756 married another member of the company, the recently-widowed comedian Richard Yates (1706?-1796). She remained a regular member of Garrick's company until 1767, when she switched her allegiances to the rival Covent Garden Theatre, allegedly for financial reasons (although Yates denied this). She then broke with Covent Garden, less for financial reasons than the company's reluctance to retain Richard Yates, and in 1773 she took over management, with novelist and playwright Frances Brooke, of the King's Theatre, then London's home of opera. Around this time Richard Yates took over a playhouse in Birmingham, where Mary Ann sometimes performed. Having improved the fortunes of the King's Theatre, Yates returned to Drury Lane and sold her share in the King's Theatre. London's leading tragedienne of the period, Yates was admired by the public, with notable admirers including Horace Walpole and William Godwin. From a set of small mezzotint portraits of actresses and singers, published by the printseller William Richardson in 1780, apparently to follow up a similar set of actor portraits published the previous year. Engraved after a painting by draughtsman and singer Robert Dighton (1751-1814) by the mezzotint engraver and printseller Robert Laurie (1755?-1836). Music, instruments and mask (representing theatre) in title area.
