- Abstract:
- "Apparently an imitation (better drawn) of British Museum Satires No. 15716. Wellington drives (left to right) four galloping horses, each with a human head. The leaders are Lyndhurst (piebald) and Scarlett (black), both wearing legal wigs; the wheelers Brougham, also in his wig, and Burdett. He flicks his lash over the leaders, saying, 'Kim up Motley--keep together odd Rat [Lyndhurst] ye--or I'll lay it into ye!!' The King's (pleased) face is seen through the coach window; he says: 'I say Arthur, you are the Man Wot can make'm go, if you like!!' The guard is Lady Conyngham: she stands up, blowing her horn. She wears a guard's greatcoat and satchel over her dress and holds a blunderbuss. The coach is the 'Windsor Castle'; 'Wellington & Co.'; 'G R 1829'. It has just passed and overturned a two-wheeled ass-cart, the ass falling on its head, the driver, Eldon, sprawling on the ground. In the cart, which is inscribed 'John Eldon Rubbish Carter' [see British Museum Satires No. 15700, &c], are big bundles of 'Anti-Catholic Petetions' [see British Museum Satires No. 15661, &c.]. Standing behind and below the guard's dickey is Peel as 'cad', or conductor; he thumbs his nose at Eldon, saying, 'There's a Guard for the Sovereign eh!!!' Windsor Castle is on the extreme left; on the extreme right is a signpost pointing (left) to 'Windsor' and (right) 'To London'."--British Museum online catalogue
