This is a blank example of the receipt Hogarth issued to subscribers who paid seven shillings and six pence for a print from the engraving of his oil painting The March of the Guards to Finchley. The receipt features imagery of warfare. A set of bagpipes can also be seen representing the Scottish Jacobite rebels. The scroll in the foreground is the coat of arms of the Union with the Scottish lion rampant being cut out by a pair of scissors. Hogarth decided to organise a lottery wherein those subscribers who paid three shillings above the standard rate would have the chance to win the original painting. After the subscription closed Hogarth gave the remaining one hundred and sixty-seven unsold tickets to the Foundling Hospital. One of these tickets, number 1941, was drawn from the box and Hogarth personally delivered the painting to the Hospital Governors on the night of 30 April 1750.
