Giles Grinagain in et f.
Published Mar 15th 1802 by S. Howitt, Panton Street Haymarket.
Coloured etching, 18th century watermark. 205 x 240mm (8 x 9½") large margins. Some toning of paper at edge of plate.
Two veterans of the French Revolutionary Wars, both still in army uniform, compare notes about their loss of limbs with two older Chelsea Pensioners, also amputees. One of the Old Guard says 'a Rascal of a Frenchman shot my nose off', during his service with the Marquis of Grandby during the Seven Years' War. 'Giles Grinagain' was probably a pseudonym of Samuel Howitt, the publisher of the print.

The hospital was founded by King Charles II in 1682, however Sir Stephen Fox (1627-1716), to whom this print is dedicated, was the inspiration for its foundation. Fox was a royal administrator and courtier to Charles II and a politician who rose from humble origins, so much so that he became known as 'the richest commoner in the three kingdoms'.
