Like other tonal techniques, stippling printed well in colour. In this case, the printmaker François David Soiron (1756–1813) dabbed various coloured inks onto the same plate by means of small doll-shaped dabbers, which gave the method of colouring its name (à la poupée from the French word for doll). Under a magnifier the printed colours take the shape of the stippled dots. There is some hand-colouring in this print; see for example the brown on the dog, which shows as brush strokes under a magnifier. \r\nPaintings by George Morland (1763–1804) were popular with the British public during his lifetime, and widely reproduced by printmakers in Britain, France and Germany. There is a companion print to this called The Tea Garden (Museum number E.130-1963).","physicalDescription":"Print, in an oval border, depicting a solder and his family drinking milk from the cows in St. James's Park.  The soldier rests against a table at the centre of the picture, with his arms folded, and faces right; slightly to the left is a young boy, holding a cup and attracting the attention of a milkmaid.  On the right sits a woman with a young boy on her lap and a young girl standing beside her.  There is a dog in the foreground of the picture.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Soiron, François David","id":"A6908"},"association":{"text":"engraver","id":"AAT25165"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"George Morland","id":"A6910"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":"after"},{"name":{"text":"Gaugain, Thomas","id":"A31332"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"x32600"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[{"text":"stipple engraving","id":"AAT53239"},{"text":"hand-colouring","id":"AAT133555"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Colour stipple engraving, with additional colour  by hand","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Printmaking techniques","id":"THES252987"}],"styles":[{"text":"Georgian","id":"AAT21048"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AA4118"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLF","id":"THES49656"},"free":"","case":"EDUC","shelf":"9","box":"B"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"x46159"},"note":"possibly"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1790","earliest":"1790-01-01","latest":"1790-12-31"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":"Published 1 January 1790"}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"E.130-1963","id":"O71910"},"association":"Set"}],"creditLine":"Bequeathed by Mrs M.
