"Eldon stands with his shirt-sleeves rolled up, carrying a great stack of petitions under each arm. On his head is a porter's knot made of a pair of green bags (emblem of 'Old Bags', see British Museum Satires No. 12883); on this rests a third pile of bulky parchments. Round his right leg is an unfastened garter inscribed '. . . d Expects Every Man will do' [his duty]. He puffs; sweat streams down his forehead; he says: 'Hard work this--got plenty more to bring down yet--.' The petitions are inscribed 'Petition' [five times]; 'against Concession' [twice]; 'Petition against'; '30.000 Inhabitants'; 'Humbly Sheweth'; 'Petition against Concession--' [twice] '3.00 Inhabitants'; '4000 of the . . .'; 'signed by 130.000 Men Women & Children ; 60,000 Respectable Inhabitants'."--British Museum online catalogue
