- Abstract

"A mail-coach inscribed 'Sovereig, Windsor and London', with high-stepping horses, is driven, left to right, by Wellington, who wears fashionable coaching dress with multiple-caped coat and broad-brimmed hat. He has just passed a rival coach, 'the Humbug & Co London Windsor', which has overturned, after colliding with a roadside post inscribed 'Emancipation'. An alarmed face looks out of the window; the traces have broken, the front wheels are off; the driver, Eldon, has fallen on his back on to the prostrate wheelers. The Duke of Cumberland falls head first from the frail dickey; another man (? Winchilsea) falls from the roof, which is stacked high with bulky petitions, one inscribed 'Old Womans Petition']; a paper also falls to the ground inscribed 'Bigotry, Ignorance, Intolerance, Loaves, Fishes, Pensions, Places'. Behind Wellington, on "The Sovereign", sit four men: Brougham, in barrister's wig and holding a brief-bag, a bishop, Burdett, a judge (probably Lyndhurst). The guard is Peel, who stands up, horn in hand, to say to the Duke: 'I say governor we've done em up at last, they will never recover themselves any more.' Wellington, looking over his shoulder, answers: 'No No, they are quite done up that post has smash'd them.' The inside passengers are George IV and Lady Conyngham; he leans out to watch the catastrophe, saying with a smile, 'Floored by George.' She says: 'Aye Aye George we've gotten a Coachman now vot is up to a thing or two, and knows vot is vot.' Brougham: 'Why the concern has been in a bad way some time they say that it is so rotten that all the Rats abandoned it.' The bishop: 'Its lucky they had few passengers.' Burdett: 'No wonder they upset they had too much rubbish on the roof'. The coach flies a flag inscribed 'True Patriotism Honor Truth Liberality'; it is decorated with the Royal Arms: shamrock and roses. There is a background of trees dominated on the right by Windsor Castle."--British Museum online catalogue
