1780
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Camp of Stothard, Blake, Ogleby is a 1780 ink by Thomas Stothard, a Romanticism work, depicting Tent, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see ink on paper showing a busy military camp. Tents and soldiers fill the scene in careful rows. The artist used a needle to scratch lines into metal, then inked it—etching gives soft shadows here. This print feels like a snapshot from 1780. The artist packed the scene with details: soldiers chatting, horses tied up, flags flapping. It’s not a grand battle, just everyday camp life. Look up Stothard, Thomas next.
Thomas Stothard (17 August 1755 – 27 April 1834) was a British painter, illustrator and engraver.
