Abstract: "William IV rides (left to right) on a country road, with a large document under his arm: 'Plan Bridge over Canal for Public'; Wellington sits insecurely behind the saddle. Both are in civilian dress. The King: 'Now I've got him up behind I'll just do as I like'. Wellington (slyly): 'This is a very bad Seat, not such a one as I have been used to lately. I am afraid I shall be off.--Open the Park indeed for the Public: I don't like giving way to the Public!!!' A signpost (left) points (right) 'To Holland House'."--British Museum online catalogue
