Two hand-coloured etchings printed on the same sheet from a composite album of 97 folios (147 prints) of comic illustrations under the title Darly's Comic Prints of Characters, Caricatures, Macaronies &c., published by Mary and Matthew Darly in London in 1772 and 1773.
The macaroni general is identified (on a copy in the Morgan Library) as William Strode, Lieutenant General of the 62nd Foot Guard. The equestrian figure in the background represents the statue Strode had erected in 1770 of the Duke of Cumberland.
