The unknown tongue [graphic]Heath, William, 1795-1840, printmaker[1 January 1832]engLord Brougham, wearing the dress of a German broom-girl and holding a broom resembling a ceremonial mace, stands on the woolsack on the left and points to peers and others in the House of Lords on the right; his words "Reform. O. Reform. O Reform O!!!" are etched within a speech bubble above. An arm protruding from the curtain on the far left holds out a document inscribed "50 NEW PEERS." The audience looks horrified, with the words "Treason," "Death," "Murder," "Sacrilge [sic]," and "Horror" coming from those in the back. In the foreground on the right, Wellington raises his arm up in defense and says "O fie, fie"; the Duke of Cumberland on the far right says "Burke her Bishop." Two bishops flee to the right, one falling backwards over a bench inscribed "The BENCH but not the Kings Bench."Title etched below image.Description based on an imperfect impression; sheet trimmed within plate mark, resulting in partial loss of printmaker's signature from left edge and potential loss of additional text and image.Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
