About this work

A hand-colored etching shows disabled veterans in blue and red coats sprawled and hobbling before the facade of Chelsea Hospital, while women and men in the right foreground attack or chase figures with brooms and sticks. A speech scroll floats above the crowd, and the caption reads Sir Cecil's Budget for Paying the National Debt.
