- Abstract
-
A thin cat with the head of Charles Grey walks on top of a wall. In his mourn is a fish labeled "First Lord of the Treasury 6000". His long tail, curving around the design and ending at the bottom right, is covered in white patches that are labeled with the names of his relations, their positions, and the amount of their pay. A stick figure of Wellington, with sword raised, appears in the right corner above the end of the tail. Posted on the wall are two signs: "Commit no nuisance" and "Reform in Parliament meeting will be [illegible scrawl]."
