Taking the Oath
Description
This is the only cartoon in Sprod's sketchbook that is dated. 'Taking the Oath' features men in civilian dress, resting their hands on a bible at the time of the enlistment. In the background there is a light sketch of the same scene unfolding, set further away in the same room.
