Abstract:
"George IV, seated on the throne, watches a display of jovial fraternization between John Bull and Pat, who dance, holding hands, each holding up a hat decorated respectively by rose and shamrock. A lanky garland of (thornless) roses and giant shamrocks drapes the crown on the back of the throne; one end is held up by Wellington (right), on the King's left, the other by Peel on his right, so that the King is framed by it. John Bull is an obese and drink-blotched "cit", with a snuff-box inscribed 'Irish' in his waistcoat pocket. Pat is a ragged Irish peasant, his bare legs swathed by twisted straw; his shillelagh lies on the ground; he looks with a broad but appraising grin at J. B., who sings: "Together reared together grown, Oh! let us now unite in one, Let friendship rivet the decree, Nor bigots sever Pat and Me!!!" Two discomfited 'bigots' depart on the left; one is a gouty parson using a crutch, with a 'Petition against Concession' hanging from his pocket, cf. British Museum Satires No. 15661, &c. The other is a Catholic bishop in robe and mitre. They say: 'It's time for us to be off.' Above their heads flies a figure of Discord, her hair consisting of snakes which spit flame towards J. B. The King, with extended arm, says: 'No more let Bigotry distract the Nation, Nor Priestcraft nurture lawless passion, Henceforth let rage and tumult cease, As brothers live and die in peace!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue

The Duke of Wellington flys in a cloudy sky on a large quill pen, holding a pair of reins which are attached to the tip of the pen. From the tip hangs a scroll which reads "Bill for the relief of Roman Catholics." The point of the pen strikes George IV's eye; he stands in profile on the far right and exclaims "Oh, my eye the fellow has blinded me." Wellington looks over his shoulder at a bird with the head of Grey who flies after him from the left, beneath the pen's feather. Grey calls, "I say you Old Soldier you have stole one of my feathers! Hollo'a stop thief."

"George IV (left), plainly dressed in frogged coat with fur collar, sits in an arm-chair regarding Wellington with surprise. The Duke, dressed as a carpenter, approaches him from the right, bending forward and raising his paper cap which is shaped like a coronet. He is in shirt-sleeves with a high-collared waistcoat, and an apron over his own strapped white trousers. In his left hand is a saw. He says: 'I begs pardon your honor, but I can't stand it no longer--There's my foreman Bob, and Chancery Jack, as we calls him, are fighting instead of minding their work--The vagabonds von't be easy 'till I bundles 'em out.' He watches the King with wary intentness. On the wall behind him is a small picture of 'Bob & Chancery Jack': Peel and Lyndhurst (in his Chancellor's robes) facing each other in a pugilistic encounter."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Eldon's head rests on a candle-end which is in an elaborate candle-stick of gold plate, standing on the ground. Wellington (left), in uniform, reaches up to cover it with a huge extinguisher inscribed 'Catholic Bill Majority 168'; he says: 'Thus I obscure you, ne'er to shine again.' Eldon looks to the left, registering intensive melancholy; rays from his head, obstructed on the left by the extinguisher, strike against the profile of George IV, whose head, shoulder, and paunch project from the right margin, leaning towards the candle. The King says 'Poor Old Bags!' (Cf. British Museum Satires No. 12883.)"--British Museum online catalogue
