Abstract:
"A group of men standing outside an inn with the sign of the 'Bugle horn'. One, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, holds in his left hand a paper inscribed 'Courier / Dispatch [?]... / Stocks'. His right forefinger is extended as if laying down the law to his companions. On his right stands a man holding his chin with an expression of deep thought. Next to him (left) is an artisan, listening intently, his breeches unfastened at the knee, his stockings ungartered; he holds a short hammer and is probably a shoemaker. Behind (right) a man wearing a waistcoat over a ruffled shirt, but no coat, lounges against the stump of a tree and listens open-mouthed. On the top of the stump is an open dish of food which a dog is eating."--British Museum online catalogue

"Michael Angelo Taylor, wearing the Speaker's gown, about to step up to the empty Speaker's Chair, staggers back in alarm, the long wig falling from his head. From nozzles at the ends of twisting tubes directed against him from both sides issue jets inscribed 'Hiss'. A phalanx of hawks on the Government benches threatens him from the left, while on right and nearer bench three buzzards do the same from the Opposition side. The nearest bird has the bloated and inflamed features of Sheridan."--British Museum online catalogue
