Invade us boys!
Image information
Invade us boys!
A typically rousing loyalist caricature centring on the virtues and heroism of the British tar. Many similar prints were produced at this time, soon after the recommencement of hostilities with France and in the face of another invasion scare. This image is an adaptation of a long-standing iconography of the sailor ashore, free from the confines and disciplinary routine of the ship and ready to revel. This image of the tar is a far cry from the mutinous figure that had shaken the nation only five years earlier in the mutinies at Spithead and the Nore.
