Poll of Plymouth's prayer [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[20 September 1801]eng"A buxom young woman, wearing a straw bonnet and many trinkets, including a miniature, kneels at a chair in profile to the right. Behind her on a table are a punch-bowl, spirit decanter, glasses, and a long pipe; above it is a framed picture of a man-of-war. She prays to Thetis 'from the sign of the Punch-Bowl' for protection to her favourite sailors, now at sea, 'all generous fellows, and bleed freely'. She asks to be enabled to redeem her pawned trinkets, so that she may 'appear lovely in the eyes of the whole fleet'."--British Museum online catalogueTitle printed in letterpress below plate line.Two paragraphs of letterpress text below title: Charming Thetis, thou who blushest not at sleeping with the sun ...Mounted on verso of leaf 76 of volume 7 of 14 volumes.
