The corn bill, or, Iohn Bull and his hobby [graphic].

"Mr. and Mrs. Bull are in their breakfast parlour; she sits beside a table on which is a tray with coffee-pot, &c, he stands booted and spurred, impatient to set off. Through an open doorway (right) a groom is seen holding a saddle-horse. Behind are the houses of a London street. Mrs. Bull reads with dismay the '[M]orning Post'; she cries: "Here Mr Bull here's the Speech of that fellow on the Corn Bill - You must stop and hear this - The Price of Corn is yet Far Below the Price which is universally allowed to be Necessary!!!! why we shall all be starved Mr Bull." He shouts, with outstretched arms: "D------n the Corn Bill! I have not time to think of any thing till the Election is over. - why Liberty and Independence is at stak [sic] - What is Starving to that Mrs Bull!" Both are very fat, and evidently prosperous."--British Museum online catalogue
