The Rifle Quadrille, by C H R Marriott
Promotional music sheet for The Rifle Quadrilles of 1859 by C. H. R. Marriott. There was hysteria about a possible French invasion in the years around 1860. By February 1862, 160, 000 men had joined the Volunteer movement. although there was no evidence that there were lady volunteers, although the same uniform appears several times in images of the time and the subject was a popular one for the music halls. These ladies stand ready with their guns to repel any invaders, and one can be seen saluting smartly to her male counterpart. Date: 1859
