The officer just pointed out to the guy sitting on the right, holding his carbine , that the figure he painted was cross eyed!

A neat picture. I wonder what the toy soldiers are.

Ditto to 79thPA and what is the date of the picture? And source of the photo?

The photo comes from Navy and Army Illustrated, 1898, and is reproduced in Wikipedia.

I'd taking a swingeing guess that the figures are from Britains Ltd as used by HG Wells.
