"Wellington takes a flying stride from a braying ass (right) with tail erect and its feet firmly planted. His hair rises, his top-hat falls off, and he looks behind him to say: 'Oh save me, save, Bob, run tell the King!' The donkey (Key) brays 'fe . fa . fum'. It wears a heavy chain and is draped by a furred livery gown marked with the City Arms."--British Museum online catalogue

A figure of king shown full length standing on a ship. His body is made from ceremonial objects and other objects that reflect the majesty of Great Britain: a map of the British Isles, anchors from ships, sword and sceptors, tridents, coins, etc. He wears a crown on his head and a red rose around his nect. Behind him is a curtain with the symbols of Ireland, Scotland and England: lions rampant and a harp. In the distance is another ship at full sail; two cannons ready for action at his feet
