- Abstract
-
A satire on the Duke's pressure on the King to accept Emancipation. "Wellington stands in profile to the right, dressed as the driver of a mail-coach, holding his whip and (as way-bill) a paper resembling the 'Gazette', headed 'Bill' [i.e. for Catholic Relief]. His (gloved) left hand touches the broad brim of his hat. He wears a triple-caped greatcoat, tight at the waist, over tightly strapped white trousers, and is smart and erect, in contrast with his rival, see British Museum satires no. 15736"--British Museum online catalogue
