- Abstract
-
A satire against Wray for his proposals to abolish Chelsea Hospital and to tax maidservants and for his desertion of Fox, for which he was called Judas. In the center of the image Sir Cecil Wray is cudgeled by two Chelsea pensioners as another man approaches on crutches from the right. A maidservant on the left is preparing to strike him with her mop as she shouts: "I'll souse him, a dog, tax maid servants, ha!" A fourth pensioner cheers the others on from the background where he sits waving his hat and crutch, his wooden leg having been broken off to use on Wray. All of the pensioners have lost limbs or eyes
