- Abstract
-
"Heading to a printed broadside. Three Ministers in court suits with bag-wigs and swords sing outside Carlton House. Castlereagh in the centre holds a scourge, turning towards Liverpool (left); the latter and Sidmouth have misshapen gouty legs. Sidmouth's clyster-pipe hangs from his pocket. Above the gate (left) George IV and a fat woman (? Lady Conyngham) are seen watching from a window. She says: "Your M--y how well they Chord, it is like one Person." John Bull, a yokel in a smock holding money-bag and cudgel, stands with his back to the gate, watching the singers. He says: "They may Chord to please his M .... y but dang me If I dont wish the Three was in One Cord." Alderman Curtis (right), with enormous paunch and nose, approaches from the right, in the sailor's dress of Walcheren Expedition prints, see British Museum Satires No. 11353. He holds a long spoon labelled 'Orphans Fund' [see British Museum Satires No. 13706] and a large pot; under the left arm is a turtle. He says: "Who's for a Royal Tuck-out with our Fat Friend [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14017], bring your Loyal Addresses and he'll make you as drunk as a Prince. ..."."--British Museum online catalogue

- Sold by London's Dulau and Company to the New York City bookseller Ernest R. Gee in 1928. Earlier ownership by W.E. Gladstone is suggested by a manuscript note from Dulau formerly laid into the front the first volume (now in the object file), which states that "These came from the Gladstone Library at Court Hey, Broad Green. The manuscript notes written below the caricatures are in the handwriting of W.E. Gladstone." William Reese Company; February 2024.
