The present work is a study for the screenprint, Crying to the walls: My God! My God! will she relent?, from Some poems by Jules Laforgue (1973). This book includes twenty-two screenprinted illustrations to poems by the late nineteenth century poet, Jules Laforgue. Alan Cristea writes:

'To my mind this book of twenty-two screenprints ranks as ome of the most successful and felicitious marriages of text and image in the twentieth century. Laforgue's witty, ironical and melancholy insights into the significance of mundane, everyday objects, as he moves easily back and forth between reality and reverie, find an almost uncanny parallel in Caulfield's attitude to life and art a century later' (A. Cristea, K. Dempsey & M. Gooding, Patrick Caulfield: The Complete Prints 1964-1999, London, 1999, p.5).
