About this work

This image shows a group of soldiers marching in a wooded area between two towns labeled "Haverhill" and "Exeter." Some soldiers are standing, others are playing instruments, and a few are resting. Trees, rocks, and a fence line the path, with buildings visible in the distance. The text at the bottom says it’s called *Grey’s Quick Step*, dedicated to a captain and his unit. It was made as sheet music for piano in 1839. Next, look up lithography to see how this image was printed.
