The vetrans petition!! (BM 1948,0214.598), A paunchy and bespectacled clergyman standing at left, reading nearsightedly from a paper on which are seen the words 'Petitioner will ever Pray', to a veteran soldier with a wooden left leg standing indignantly at right, who waves a stick in his right hand at the parson, and holds his tricorne in his left; their speech is above their heads. The clergyman: 'Well friend Cartridge. I have drawn up your petition, mentioned wounds, long service &c &c - concluding as usual, "And your petitioner will ever pray!' The soldier: 'Will ever pray! - that may do very well for a parson, - but d-d bad coming from an Old Soldier! - No - Ill have it inserted, "And your Petitioner" will ever fight!'  16 September 1800

ベトラの請願!!。左に立っている、軽くて見まぐれな聖職者が、紙に書かれた「Petitioner will ever Pray」という文字から近視眼で読み、右に怒って立っている木製の左脚を持つベテラン兵士に、右手に棒を振りかけ、左に三つ角を抱えている。彼らのスピーチは頭の上にある。牧師:「友人のカートリッジさん。願書を起草し、傷跡を述べたり、長文の文を書いてあります--いつものように「また、申立人は祈るでしょう!」と締めくくられています。兵士:「祈るな!-それはパーソンにとてもよく効くかもしれない-しかし、年老いた兵士からd-dの悪い到来!- いいえ- 挿入してもらうから「あなた方の小遣い」が戦います!' 1800年9月16日 手彩色のエッチングで、先端と水槽が刺さる(?)
