Tom Saunders, nicknamed 'Poor Jack', with his father, a Greenwich Pensioner, after losing his leg at the Battle of the Nile, 1798, in the north colonnade of the King William Court of Greenwich Hospital. The Painted Hall is to the right, with the dome and vestibule of the Queen Mary Court, and the south pavilions of the Queen Anne Court visible beyond.

Wood-engraved by Henry Vizetelly, this appeared facing p. 214 in Chapter XXXI of Marryat's 'Poor Jack' (1840). PAF6070, the next in sequence, illustrates a story that Jack's father tells him on this occasion. Both are from a group of five original drawings for the novel bequeathed to the Museum in 1953 and this one was cat. no. 235 in the Stanfield exhibition at Sunderland and Bonn in 1979. For further details see PAF6068.
