Article on the "Volunteer Furniture," a copperplate-printed linen-and-cotton chintz made at Leixlip, Ireland, in 1782 and now at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It depicts the Irish Volunteers' Provincial Review in Phoenix Park under Lord Charlemont. The author places the textile in the context of the Volunteer movement, the free trade agitation and non-importation agreements of the 1770s and 1780s, and related commemorative objects such as a Wedgwood pitcher and a linen damask tablecloth. He also lists surviving pieces of the chintz. Detailed notes give a technical description of the fabric and a bibliography on Irish textile printing.
