A wolf in sheep's clothing!! being No. 2 of the Reformers Christmas Box for 1835 / [graphic]

A man sits in a chair at center, dressed entirely in wooly sheep's clothing but with a human head in profile visible beneath the sheep's head; his nose and chin are suggestive of the Duke of Wellington, and a speech bubble from his mouth reads "Reform." Nine other men (politicians?) are in the room with him, two sitting and the rest standing. A sign on the back wall mentions "the Boro' of Halifax," which combined with a speech bubble mention of "Protheroe" likely references the British Radical and Whig politician Edward Davis Protheroe. Another sign on the wall reads "Tory Creed, Force or Fraud!!," while the one on the far right begins "Hx. Election!" and ends with a mention of "John. L. Edw-ds, Non-Elector & Chairman." Seemingly a satire on various reforms that were being debated and voted upon in Parliament in the mid-1830s
