The image showcases an array of meticulously designed uniforms worn by various volunteer corps in London. The attention to detail is remarkable as each uniform represents a different organization such as the Inns of Court, Civil Service, Post Office, Volunteer Guards, Royal London Irish, Queens Westminster, and the prestigious Metropolitan Rifle Volunteer Corps.

The composition captures the essence of unity and diversity within these volunteer corps. It serves as a testament to their commitment towards protecting their city while highlighting their individuality through unique insignias and accessories.
