"Wellington, in old-fashioned dress except for boots reaching to the calves, stands full-face, holding out a large Grenadier's bearskin in his right hand, a coaching whip in the other. He wears a white wig projecting behind his head, spectacles on his forehead, flowered waistcoat, full-skirted coat with wide cuffs. Across his shoulder is the black scarf of the mute. He turns his head in profile to the right. A curving inscription is above his head, issuing from his mouth: 'Cabinetmaker | Undertaker \ Finance \ Beat France \ Bony parte \ Made him smart \ Address the house \ Quiet as mouse \ Reason & rhyme \ Minister prime | Good job | Man Bob [Peel] | Situation \ Manage the Nation \ Make em Rat \ Know what I'm at | Duel fight \ All right \ Tories & Whigs | Running riggs | Parsons rich | Palm itch \ Great Nob \ Drive the Sov- | Grenadier | I'm here \ Mancipation \ Astonish the Nation'.

"Henry Hunt (right) hurls a jar of his 'Hunts Matchless Blacki[ng]' at the Lord Mayor (William Thompson). The Mayor, who wears his gown, raises the City mace defensively in both hands. Hunt registers frenzied rage; he holds a second jar in his left hand; at his feet is a paper: 'Petition against increased Duty on Coals'. Just behind him is a pugnacious coal-heaver clutching a blacking-jar; he says: 'Go it, my covey another black un--d--n me, if Blackey and Coaley can't do it the devil's in 'em.' The Mayor smiles, despite a cascade of blacking. Behind him and on the extreme left is a barrister in wig and gown, probably the Recorder (Newman Knowlys). He says: 'Mind what your at my hearty--keep up your favorite guard or he'll beat you as black as his own factory.'"--British Museum online catalogue
