Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 'This plate represents an officer of the corps a description of which accompanies the subject which precedes the present one; in the back ground is an encampment. The Turkish camps are in general disposed in the following manner: The troops more immediately under the command of the Grand Vizier, occupy a camp apart from the rest of the army: the Aga of the Janizaries encamps separately with his troops; and the artillery are encamped in the middle; at night the camp is illuminated as follows :— Pieces of rag which have been soaked in grease or oil, are burnt in a sort of lanthorns, made of iron hoops, which are suspended from long poles, several of which are placed in front of the tents of the Pachas. By day-time these officers have the number of horse tails, which are the ensigns of their respective dignities, placed in a conspicuous manner in the same situation.'
