Abstract:
"A young woman stands over a wash-tub raising her hands in astonishment to see a little man standing waist-deep in the soapsuds, saying with a smile: "here am I!! Betty!! how are you off for Soap." She answers: "Lord!! Mr Vansittart!!--who could have thought of seeing You in the Washing Tub." She wears a mob-cap and pattens. Two tubs stand on a bench, with a basket beside it on which lies a pair of breeches. Through a window (right) are seen clothes on a line, and trees. A fire burns under a large copper (left) from which rise clouds of steam. Against the wall are coal-box, shovel, and broom."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"John Bull, a spectacled citizen, sits by the table in the Commons reading an 'Extraordinary Red Book' and registering frantic anger. He shouts: "Oh!!--Monstrous!!!--that twenty six State Cormorants should swallow annually an aggregate sum: under the name of salaries, independent of the indefinible emoluments which result from other sources of gain amounting to--£453,692. Can we any longer wonder that the love of Place in these men should supersede every more exalted consideration." The mace rests on a scroll which hangs from the table: 'Plac[es] Earl of Liverpool 14,000,-- Mr Vansittart £7,500, &--Ge Rose £16,551--Vist Melville £11,000-- Mr Wellesley Pole £10,000.' On the floor is a paper: 'Droits of Admiralty' [see British Museum Satires No. 10967]. On the right behind John's chair Ministerial members sit in a close row, with a second row standing behind them. One stands on the extreme right holding a long scroll whose coiled end is under John's chair. It is 'A List of Placemen Pensions and Sinecures--Lord Arden £38,574 [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12802]--Earl Bathurst and C°--£37,225--Lord Castlereagh for Two Years Service £71,000--Ld Ellenborough £24,100--Ld Eldon £40,000 & & &c--Marquis Camden £23,000.' The members are burlesqued; four of them say: "I swallow--£10,000 and do very little for it"; "and I £16,000-- for doing next to nothing"; "and I 40,000£--for doing less"; "and I [Castlereagh] £71,000--for doing nothing at all." A fifth, wearing tartan with a Scots cap and taking snuff from a ram's horn mull (evidently Melville), says: "and I 18,000--for doing worse!"."--British Museum online catalogue
