Floats and Participants is a 1616 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows four big parade floats. One has camels and soldiers. Another has a tall tower with people fighting. A third looks like a ship with a bunch of weapons. The last one is pulled by horses and has a mix of soldiers and wild-looking figures. The tiny labels under each float name places like "Asia" and "Africa." The people on horseback at the bottom are labeled too, but we don’t know who they are. This was made using etching, a way of scratching into metal plates to print images.
