Meanwhile, the idea of relationships between races is ridiculed. Many familiar and important figures are represented. Abolitionists like Wilberforce, Stephen and Macaulay appear next to the street entertainer Billy Waters and the radical Robert Wedderburn ...

The chairman's raised throne with its canopy is on the extreme left, at the head of the table which extends to the right across the design.

In a country setting with cows and a windmill in the background, a young milkmaid sits on a bench under an oak tree, receiving a ribbon from a young sailor seated beside her. Another young girl looks on from behind, while the milkmaid's country suitor stands behind sulkily scratching his head. A dog paws at the milkmaid's lap while another drinks from the milking pail
