[LAYARD, Frederic Peter]
Line of March of a Bengal Regiment, of Infantry.
It is very possible that Layard was related to Brownlow Layard whose Silver Chest is also illustrated in this catalogue and it is known that the Layards were a relatively well known family in Ceylon. This panorama, like the one by Ludlow illustrated in The Portable Empire, shows all the confusion of a Line of March in India. Its twenty two plates show the march from the Striking of Tents, through the different members of the march including the Grass Cutter, Mess Stores, Hackery with Luggage, Halfway Coffee Club, Irregular Cavalry with Dispatches, Sowart Camel, Band, Native Doctor and Advance Guard etc.
