Abstract:
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

Abstract:
"The crowded cabin tilts to the right, to the dismay of a family party dining at a table in the foreground. There is a second table in the background with a meal in progress. The cabin is bordered on left and right by two tiers of berths, apparently for two persons, set in panelling, and with curtains festooned along the upper edge. These are filled by suffering travellers. A bench runs along the front of the berths; other passengers sit on camp-stools. Phases of misery, discomfort, resignation, and (by exception) complacency are realistically illustrated. A sailor pushes a mop-stick through an open hatch in the roof."--British Museum online catalogue

Resource Type:

Abstract:
George IV and three of his ministers (Castlereagh, Liverpool, and Wellington) struggle to pull on a rope tied a mortar, which is shaped like a fantastical winged creature. Their targets are apparently the "Satirists" in the sky in the upper right, who wield pens and banners; an additional satirist, with the beaked face of a bird, is seen in the sky in the upper left, sitting on a wheeled hobby horse and ready to shoot an arrow inscribed 'Cradle Hymn" from a bow. Additional depicted figures included Gifford, wearing a wig and gown and holding a scourge; Sidmouth, using a clyster pipe to shoot at the satirists in the sky; and Canning, holding a cudgel above his head, ready to strike a fleeing Burdett. Following behind the mortar are several men, one wearing a liberty cap, two of them holding a banner inscribed "Life and amours of Madam Hunn[?]" between them. A monkey in military uniform rides a donkey towards the left edge of the design, exclaiming "Clear the way for his most gracious Majesty!" From the foreground on the left George III watches the scene; he wears a black shroud, and only his head and shoulders are visible
