This is a satirical engraving titled "Stand of arms and instruments" by William Hogarth, a famous English artist known for his social commentary. This print is a visual representation of the British Royal Crest, featuring a jumble of military symbols and musical instruments. The artist's choice of subject matter hints at a satirical take on British society and its preoccupation with military strength and musical prowess. The engraving utilizes detailed line work to convey the texture of the various objects. Despite its small scale, the composition is dense, creating a sense of chaos and complexity.
