Print shows George Canning standing on the left holding a broom and a bag of money labeled "Gold" which he is giving to Henry Brougham who wears the dress of a German broom-girl over his parliamentary clothing and "Canning (left), in a court suit with bag-wig and sword, stands outside the door of the Treasury completing a bargain with Brougham. The latter is dressed as a German broom-girl as in British Museum Satires No. 14769, &c, with legal bands and a little cap perched on his barrister's wig, and very clumsy legs and feet. He has handed Canning his broom and takes in return a bag of Gold; his new silk gown is in his left hand. Canning says: Here's Money, and a hansome [sic] Silken Gown. Brougham watches Canning with a penetrating appraising smile; he answers: For my Proom, I could not take mush less."--British Museum online catalogue

"The King, plainly dressed in black, tries to hide, ostrich-like, from the two Sheriffs of London, who kneel before him, holding their wands of office. The foremost, on both knees, his hand on his heart, says: We are deputed by the Corporation to wait upon your M----ty most humbly to know when it will be convenient to receive the dutiful address of your M----tys ancient and loyal City of London. The second sheriff, less obsequious, says: The Citizens are suprised at yr M----tys Backwardness, the Corporation looks blue, and the Lord Mayor is in a Brown Study. The King, poised on his toes, stoops over the throne, a plain arm-chair, as if to take cover, looking behind him from the corners of his averted eyes. He says: I'm not at home. An elderly Lord Chamberlain, also in black, leans forward on tiptoe, supporting himself on the back of the throne, one arm held out above the King's bent back with a gesture of negation to the Sheriffs and protection to the King, saying, He say's "he's not at home! The title is centred by two heraldic turtles and the City's motto: Domini Direge Nos [sic].."--British Museum online catalogue
