- Abstract
-
In the top scene, three men (King William IV, Duke of Wellington, and an unidentified figure) in a variety of dress stand arm in arm with a woman (Queen Adelaide) wearing a feather in her hat. They appear to be amused by the commotion next to them in which one man falls over pushing another man's head away as another grabs his legs from beneath. Under the arm of one of the men who attempt to escape is a paper inscribed 'usef[ul] knowledge'. The scene is subtitled 'Oblivion' bottom right. The bottom scene depicts a gentleman with his leg raised mid-dance (King William IV), a woman (Queen Adelaide) with her hands on her hips and a man in army uniform and sword (Duke of Wellington). They all sing as they dance. A ball with head and arms and inscribed 'John Bull' appears to be kicked into the air by the dancers. On John Bull and the Whig cause in parliament
