Wellington drives a large new coach pulled by three horses with human heads. He is dressed in a a triple-caped greatcoat and broad brimmed hat and flicks the long whip with skill on the backs of the horses depicted with the heads of John Bull and on either side, stock characters of an Irishman and Scotsman wearing traditional hats. They ride on a road labelled "national debt' as the horses hoves sink in the mud labelled "sinking fund." Peel rides behind in the conductor's seat. One of the four curtains on the windows of the omnibus is pulled aside to reveal George IV about to kiss Lady Conyngham. The splash board of the new omnibus is painted with the gold initials 'GR' and a crown
