- Abstract
-
"The interior of the House of Commons showing part of the Speaker's chair on the extreme left, and the adjacent Opposition bench on the right with a corner of the gallery. On the floor between the table and the front Opposition bench a large cask, resting on trestles, is exploding violently from the bung-hole. The inscription on the cask forms the only title to the print. In the explosion are the words: 'Reform', 'Peace', 'Liberty', 'Equality', 'no Slave Trade', 'Peace'. Part only of the Speaker's hat and wig are visible; his left hand is extended and the words 'Order Order' issue from his (invisible) mouth. Three occupants of the front Opposition bench cover their faces, two others flee from the explosion."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state
