The Pope sits in a Gothic chair whose back is at an angle with the picture plane: Wellington, in profile to the right, kneels at his feet, supporting the Pope's right foot, and fervently kisses his toe (as in BM Satires No. 15665). He wears civilian dress, but a plumed cocked hat lies beside him. Peel (left) stands behind, eagerly waiting his turn, his hands together as if in prayer. Each holds a rosary. The Pope, who has a red and vulturine nose, wears a tall tiara."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from caption below image.Print signed using William Heath's device: A man with an umbrella.Imprint continues: ... where political and other caricatuers are daily pub.Approximate date of publication from British Museum catalogue.Text following title: "Thus they, in lowliest plight, repentant bow-Mil[t]on.Sheet trimmed to plate mark leaving thread margins.
