A cartoon from 1809 showing ten figures arranged in two rows.  All represent classes of people impossible to find in society. Top row, from left to right:
'A Modest Woman of Quality', 'A Primitive Bishop', 'A Real Maid of Five and Thirty', 'An Exciseman with a Conscience', 'An Author with a Second Suit of Cloaths'.  
Bottom row, from left to right: 
'A Great Man of Common Sense', 'A Woman who has continued three months a Widow', 'A Theatrical Hero of Modesty and Oeconomy', 'A Complete Honest Attorney', 'A Man of Talents, Wit and Learning possessed of  a Thousand a Year'.

For lovers of #18thcentury and early #19thcentury satirists, our archive of George 'Moutard' Woodward cartoons may pique your fancy - we have nearly 500! They're all digitised and on our online catalogue: tinyurl.com/ykfs68pa

It’s actually even worse than it first appears. These lads turned up in the UK on SMALL BOATS with no paperwork and bladed weapons

To be on my β€˜starter pack’ lists, you don’t need to be well-known or a β€˜name’: you just need to be a historical wargamer or someone providing products, information or services relevant to the hobby and be willing to get followed by others of like mind. So just ask and you’re in!

Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable NUMBER! Shake your chains to earth, like dew
Which in sleep had fall'n on you:
YE ARE MANY-THEY ARE FEW.
