Mounted on 34 leaves, a collection of 197 hand-written notes addressed to "the door keeper of the House of Lords" or specifically to Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, requesting that the bearer of the ticket or the person named be admitted to the House of Lords in August 1820 for the trial of Queen Caroline, all signed and with wax seals. The collector has mounted on some of the tickets cropped portraits from prints, some trimmed from a mezzotint by John Charles Bromley published in 1832 after the painting of the trial by Sir George Hayter, View of the House of Peers During the Trial of Queen Caroline 1820 (now in the National Portrait Gallery, London). Other portraits have been trimmed from an engraving by John Murray and John Porter also after the same Hayter painting. Still other portraits have been trimmed from the engraving "View of the interior of the House of Lords, during the important investigation in 1820" after the painting by J. Stephanoff and engraved by John George Murray. The collection also includes later tickets for admission to the House of Lords in October and November 1822 and on the final leaf, a collection of autographs of other persons associated with the trial of Queen Caroline, such as Thomas Denman, the Lord Chief Justice or William Vizard, Solicitor to the Queen and Also mounted on the sheets are nine subscription forms for various prints published by R. Bowyer, with the signatures of many of the persons associated with the trial of Queen Caroline. Some of the subscription cards have been annotated to indicate a request for a print other than the one indicated on the form. All of this suggesting that the creator of this collection was associated with Robert Bowyer’s business as they had access to the subscription tickets

He wears riding-dress with spurred boots. Behind and on the extreme left stands John Bull, full-face, a plainly dressed citizen wearing top-boots; he says: "There my Lad is a fine buxom Widow, aye and warm too, if you'l have her you need not ask Dad, or any of your Acquaintance for any Thing, she'll finish your house, & furnish it too for you, aye & keep you warm in cold frosty weather with her fur skins, a rare match my Lad especially as you are fond of Widows!!"
