"Burdett (right) and Brougham (left) as chairmen, carry (left to right) a bottomless sedan-chair enclosing O'Connell, who is forced to walk rapidly, looking from the window towards Brougham to say 'Mighty like a walk this after all'. He wears barrister's wig and gown. The chair is surmounted by shamrock and is inscribed 'M.P.' The chairmen wear livery coats; Burdett is bareheaded, and wears his usual top-boots and breeches; Brougham wears barrister's wig and bands with a battered hat."--British Museum online catalogue

"A cock with the head of Wellington stands tied to a peg, on a round board, supported on a low post (right). A short truculent-looking woman in a man's patched coat, with a bundle of sticks under her arm, stands beside the bird, which is undamaged and in fine feather; she invites its enemies to throw: 'Shy away he's a real good un.' An angry cleric, in shovel hat and apron, stands with a bundle of sticks under his arm; he says : 'I'll have every tenth throw.' "Paul Pry", one hand resting on his umbrella, stoops forward, about to throw a stick topped by a little figure of Wellington as a coachman, touching his hat, as in British Museum Satires No. 15731; his face is hidden by his raised arm. Behind him, three men confer conspiratorially, each with a stick, inscribed respectively 'Chronicle', 'Times', 'Herald'. In the foreground on the extreme left Cumberland, in hussar uniform, is in conversation with Eldon, who points over his shoulder with his thumb, and exclaims 'Lost my Stick!!!'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The King's giraffe hangs limply from a sling which is suspended from a cross-beam supported on two uprights. George IV and Lady Conyngham push hard at a windlass to hoist up their pet. He has thrown off his coat and rolled up his shirt-sleeves; tight breeches define spherical posteriors. She looks up sentimentally at the animal, whose forelegs are swathed in stockings, with the feet in large shoes stamped with a crown. Beside it is an open chest of stoppered spirit bottles. A background of trees and grass indicates Windsor Park."--British Museum online catalogue
