"A group of men wearing oriental costumes and turbans kicking a ball lettered with 'Corn Laws', seen rolling at left; the Caliph (fourth from left, Sir Robert Peel) more furious than the rest, kicking hardest (others kicking, from left to right, Richard Cobden, Lord Morpeth, John Bright, Lord Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, Henry Goulburn, Duke of Buckingham, Duke of Richmond); a man, in the character of Mozamhabad (Duke of Wellington) and his companion (Lord Stanley) kneeling in foreground at right, trying to stop the Caliph, without success."--British Museum online catalogue
