Title
Three Edinburgh Bucks (The daft Highland Laird, John Dhu, or Dow, alias MacDonald, and Jamie Duff, an idiot.)
Description
A group of three men pictured together in conversation with short lines of text emanating from their mouths. The man at the back of the group is tallest and wears a cap and holds a stick which is topped by a carved miniature likeness of himself. The two men in the foreground look at each other as the man on the right rests his hands on the other man's shoulder. Both men have elaborate head wear and the central figure is dressed in a military fashion.
