Deutsch first book of poems, Banners, was published in 1919. Her second book of poetry, Honey Out of a Rock, dealt with Jewish and biblical subjects and incorporated elements of haiku and imagism. She translated Pushkin and other Russian poets and wrote literary criticism on Shakespeare and Coleridge as well as modern poets. Her knowledge of her field was highly regarded, and she served as a consultant for the Library of Congress from 1960 to 1966.

Condition: Good. Handcolored etching on wove paper. 35 x 24.3cm. sheet size. Trimmed inside the platemark.

A tun of 'Wine' lies on solid trestles inscribed 'Treasury Bench'. From its huge bung-hole emerges the naked body of Pitt, as Bacchus, crowned with vine branches. He leans back tipsily, a brimming glass in each hand. Behind him stands Dundas as Silenus, fat, and partly draped in tartan; his right hand grasps Pitt's shoulder, in his left he holds up a brimming glass. He also is crowned with vine branches. Bunches of grapes hang down from a vine above their heads and are indicated as a background to the cask whose trestles are on a dais covered with a fringed carpet. Opposite the tun stands John Bull in profile to the left, looking up at Pitt, hat in hand; in his left hand is a lank purse, under his arm three empty bottles. He is a yokel, with lank hair and hydrocephalic head, wearing a smock and wrinkled gaiters. He says: "Pray Mr Bacchus have a bit of consideration for old John; - you know as how I've emptied my Purse already for you - & its waundedly hard to raise the price of a drop of Comfort, now that one's got no Money left for to pay for it!!!" Pitt says: "Twenty Pounds a T-Tun, ad-additional Duty i-i-if you d-d-don't like it at that, why t-t-t-then Dad & I will keep it all for o-o-our own Drinking, so here g-g-goes old Bu-Bu-Bull & Mouth!!! - " 20 April 1796Hand-coloured etching.
