"A pugilistic encounter between two old market-women who are Eldon (left) and Wellington (right). Eldon is much the stouter and more purposeful, facing his enemy grimly and aggressively. He has a basket of oranges (emblem of the Orange Lodges) beside him, and wears a flat wide-brimmed hat. Wellington wears a soldier's coat over his skirt and apron (as beggar-women or basket-women often did, cf. (e.g.) BM Satires No. 15763). His profile is apprehensive, his hands loosely closed and on the defensive. Each has a bottle-holder; that of Eldon is John Bull, a stout yokel who puts his hand on his principal's bulging posterior, saying, 'Welldone--old Mother Baggs--you have got the best bottom after all. see what it is to have a good Constitution--give it her--she has'ent got the Mounshears to deal with now.' Wellington's supporter is a bare-legged Irish ragamuffin with a pipe thrust in his little hat. He capers excitedly, putting a hand on Wellington's back to push him forward, saying, 'Murder ye ould cat kape your fists Tight--or you'I let the Ould Orange-Woman bate ye clane.' In the background is a freely sketched crowd of spectators, women of St. Giles or Billingsgate. Two only are characterized: a fat woman with parson's wig and bands, with a basket of 'Oxford Sauce' on her head, looks over her shoulder at a handsome young virago (Peel), who is shouting at her, to say: 'Come give us none of your Jaw--Mother peel'."--British Museum online catalogue

Authors of the Catholic Reform Bill, Wellington and Peel are dressed in tall conical caps and tied to the back of chair carried by Eldon. A fat bishop, probably Howley, walks behind, carrying the legs of the chair, as the head of Cumberland with gapping mouth appears behind him. A fat John Bull character looks on the scene from the left foreground. The group is met on the right by an angry Irish ragamuffin wearing a barrister's wig and waving his fist and a shillelagh, suggesting that he is O'Connell

"In the foreground are Wellington and Peel as grave-diggers; Eldon, a stout elderly Hamlet wearing a cloak, stands (left) holding a skull, and saying: "Here's fine revolution and [sic] we had the trick to see it." Wellington stands in a grave, in profile to the left, wielding a pickaxe. His shirt-sleeves are rolled up, he wears a small cap; his military coat, cocked hat, and sword lie beside him. He says to Peel: 'Come take off the Orange Peel [see British Museum Satires No. 15683] quickly, I can't get on without you.' Peel, wearing garments of green slashed with orange, is about to take off an orange waistcoat (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15701). He answers 'I'll change my self before you can say Jack Robinson.' On the extreme right are the posterior and left leg of George IV (as in British Museum Satires No. 12803) who is scurrying off to the right, beside a tombstone which serves as sign-post and is inscribed 'To Hanover' [see British Museum Satires No. 15704]. In the middle distance (right) is the funeral procession, the coffin carried by four bearers with a pall inscribed 'Constitution 1829'. On it stand a large crown and mitre with papers: 'Magna Charta' and 'Bill of Rights'. It is followed by one mourner in cloak and scarf (J. B.), who covers his face with a despairing gesture, exclaiming 'Oh! dear! Oh! dear, what will become of Mrs Bull, & all my little Bulls?-- We shall have nothing but the Popes Bulls. Oh my--' Behind are (left) St. Paul's and (right) York Minster. The pediment of the former is inscribed 'St Pauls now St Patricks' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11898]. On the steps, about to enter, is the Pope, rollicking indecently between a monk (left) and O'Connell (right) in wig and gown. The Pope: 'Och! my darling you have done the job. fal lal la!!' O'Connell: 'Huzza! Huzza! Ould Ireland for ever! Huzza!!!' Behind them (left) capers a ragged Irishman, playing bagpipes and shouting 'St Patrick day in the morning!! Och! my Darlings!' An Irish crowd is indicated in the background. Farther from the spectator is York Minster, blazing furiously, flames and smoke covering the sky; an incendiary with a firebrand (Martin, see British Museum Satires No. 15658) rushes from the building, striding across a paper inscribed 'Blanco [scored through] Black is White'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A game of chess between the Tsar and the Sultan. The latter sits cross-legged on a chest, to which the chess-board, supported on legs, is attached. Nicholas, a military dandy with a hideous profile, moves a piece, saying 'Check Mate'; he has taken two castles and other pieces. With his left hand he slips a large bag of 'Roubles' into the hat of Wellington who stands behind his chair. The Duke raises two fingers, saying, 'I say's Nothing'. The Sultan clutches his turban, registering consternation; to the box on which he sits is chained a Greek (? Capodistrias) in national costume. The Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia stand behind the chess-board; the former says: 'We must look on for the present Brother.' Beside them stands a Quakerish-looking man, hands clasped and thumbs together, probably President Jackson; he says 'Um . .m.. .m.' Behind Wellington (right) are Eldon, with his hands raised in horror, saying 'Here's treatment of Old friends and Allies.' Behind him is Lyndhurst in wig and gown. Behind the Greek (left) the King of France says to his fellow-Bourbon of the Two Sicilies (identified from BM Satires No. 15865), 'Ve must take care ours turn is not de next.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"An ancient Gothic church in the middle distance stands on a grassy hill inscribed 'Protestant Ascendency'; under the hill (left) is a cave, 'Cave of Catholic Ascendency', in which are barrels of 'Gun . Pow[der]'. A fat bare-footed friar walks away from the cave towards the picture-plane, carrying a lighted candle, and slyly laying a train of powder on the road to the cave. Standing round the church is a crowd of country people, listening to a parson who holds out to them a 'Petition to Parliament'. They are unconscious, not only that the ground beneath them is mined, but that men (right) are tugging at a rope looped round the steeple, which is about to crash. The rope-pullers are in the foreground (right); at the extreme end is Wellington with his back to the church, straining hard. Next is Peel, wearing an orange waistcoat (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15690) badly stained by the rope; Brougham, a broom-girl dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 14769, is next, with Mackintosh in Highland costume beside him. In front of them is Burdett, very tall and thin, holding up his hat and shouting 'Down with it--never mind the People' [see British Museum Satires No. 16058]. In front is O'Connell, in wig and gown, shouting, 'By St Patrick I've got the Rope over at Last.' Behind these principals are more men, tugging at a second rope. On a green field topping a cliff behind the church-breakers is Eldon wearing a smock and guiding a plough; he turns to shout to the petitioners by the church, who will be crushed by the falling tower: 'Look to your selves People.' Along the horizon (left) is a Papist procession with lighted tapers, the Host, crosses, a grotesque Pope, and figures under a canopy. It approaches St. Paul's whose dome rises above the sky-line. On the extreme right is the Monument (see British Museum satires no. 15688, &c.) in flames."--British Museum online catalogue

"A cock with the head of Wellington stands tied to a peg, on a round board, supported on a low post (right). A short truculent-looking woman in a man's patched coat, with a bundle of sticks under her arm, stands beside the bird, which is undamaged and in fine feather; she invites its enemies to throw: 'Shy away he's a real good un.' An angry cleric, in shovel hat and apron, stands with a bundle of sticks under his arm; he says : 'I'll have every tenth throw.' "Paul Pry", one hand resting on his umbrella, stoops forward, about to throw a stick topped by a little figure of Wellington as a coachman, touching his hat, as in British Museum Satires No. 15731; his face is hidden by his raised arm. Behind him, three men confer conspiratorially, each with a stick, inscribed respectively 'Chronicle', 'Times', 'Herald'. In the foreground on the extreme left Cumberland, in hussar uniform, is in conversation with Eldon, who points over his shoulder with his thumb, and exclaims 'Lost my Stick!!!'."--British Museum online catalogue
