- Abstract
-
"Wellington, in old-fashioned dress except for boots reaching to the calves, stands full-face, holding out a large Grenadier's bearskin in his right hand, a coaching whip in the other. He wears a white wig projecting behind his head, spectacles on his forehead, flowered waistcoat, full-skirted coat with wide cuffs. Across his shoulder is the black scarf of the mute. He turns his head in profile to the right. A curving inscription is above his head, issuing from his mouth: 'Cabinetmaker | Undertaker \ Finance \ Beat France \ Bony parte \ Made him smart \ Address the house \ Quiet as mouse \ Reason & rhyme \ Minister prime | Good job | Man Bob [Peel] | Situation \ Manage the Nation \ Make em Rat \ Know what I'm at | Duel fight \ All right \ Tories & Whigs | Running riggs | Parsons rich | Palm itch \ Great Nob \ Drive the Sov- | Grenadier | I'm here \ Mancipation \ Astonish the Nation'. Below the title: 'He is all--he is evry thing--he Parish could not go on without him--He has more trades than hairs in his wig'."--British Museum online catalogue
