Sepia etching of several sprawled bodies on a grassy mound, with two standing figures on the crest looking down under a pale sky.

Bury Them and Keep Quiet, Plate 18 from The Disasters of War

An etching in sepia-brown ink shows a cluster of bodies sprawled across a low mound in an open field, while two standing figures on the crest look down at them. Fine hatching and soft tonal washes model the pale, lifeless forms against a faint sky, with the plate's inscription written in the lower margin.
