"A strip design. Beneath the figures are inscriptions indicating their identity. The procession is preceded on the extreme right by Hall the apothecary, one of Fox's chief supporters in Westminster, who holds the abortive 'Regency Bill'. A medical instrument protrudes from his coat-pocket; he is 'Apozem, Clerk, & Apothecary'. ... After him in priest's robes and wearing a Jesuit's biretta walks Burke, 'Ignatius Loyola' (cf. BMSat 6026), holding an 'Ode upon his Majesty Recovery'. ... The coffin is carried on the shoulders of six men with bulls' heads, hoofs, and tails, wearing coronets and shedding tears; three only are depicted, though the hoofs of the three on the left side of the coffin are indicated; it is 'The Body of the deceased supported by six Irish Bulls'. They wear a duke's, an earl's, and a baron's coronet, and say: "[1] Pullalaloo - Pullalalo - oh.', [2] Oh! - Ogh! - Oh!; [3] Oh Pullalalo - ogh". On the coffin is a coronet with the Prince's feathers flanked by an empty purse and dice and dice-box. Four ragged little girls holding nosegays walk as pall-bearers, two before the coffin and two behind it. They are '(bis) Unfledg'd Noviciates of Sf Giles's or, Charley's delight'. ... They are followed by Mrs. Fitzherbert in long trailing weeds, a rosary and crucifix hanging from her waist. She is 'Chief Mourner - The Princess of W-----s'. ... She clasps her hands despairingly. ... She is followed by Sheridan and Fox, wearing cloaks and carrying hats with mourning-scarves; they are: 'Second Mourners', 'The Rival Jacobites'. ... The next couple are Weltje and a hairdresser, Mails. ... The procession is followed by a nude and very emaciated demon (left), playing the fiddle and capering as he sings, grinning. He is the 'Blue and Buff Train Bearer.' ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"Below each part of the procession are explanatory inscriptions beginning (left): ‘Order of Procession’. A satire on the defeat of Hobhouse by Lamb at the Westminster Election. The Rump, or remnant of Reformers, is represented by the hind-quarters of a cart-horse, with its hoofs in the air, carried on a knacker’s cart, the front of which is formed by a guillotine. This rump is on a coffin inscribed ‘Hic Jacit Rumpibus’. Two posts at the back of the cart form, with the supports of the guillotine, four uprights connected by poles, each topped by a bonnet rouge with tricolour cockade, and hung with tricolour scarves draped in black. A headsman’s axe dripping blood projects from the top of the guillotine. The cart, inscribed ‘Peter Knife Nacker Tuthill Fields’, is drawn by a miserable donkey ridden by a ragged little chimney-sweep with a bludgeon, who shouts: "Cum, hup ye xxxxx Warment or I’ll cut your xxxxx Rump off!" This is: ‘The Rump itself, borne on Mr Hobby’s Triumphal Car & drawn by an Ass.’ Two hungry dogs eye the carcass, towards which flock carrion birds. Beside the cart walk, two a side, ‘Pall bearers’, ‘Four Bum-bailiffs’, smartly dressed and vulgar-looking, whose hat-scarves are formed of writs. Behind the cart is Hobhouse riding a new velocipede or hobby-horse (see No. 13399). He weeps, holding up a handkerchief, saying: "Fare thee well, & if for ever, Then for ever Fare thee well," words appropriate to the friend of Byron, see No. 12827, &c. He wears a large tricolour mourning-scarf round his hat; a long cloak or train hangs from the collar of his coat, and is held up by Burdett and Francis Place. Captions: ‘Chief Mourner, Mr Hobbyhorse--suffering ye Tortures of the D--d!!--his Train supported by Bodkin!! & the Baronet--done over!!!’ Both wear mourning-scarves, both weep copiously, stooping forward. Place has a cabbage for a head, emblem of tailordom, cf. No. 11824, and holds a stiletto or bodkin, as if it were a dagger. Burdett says: "To think that I should have eaten salt with the Lying Chronicle!! "tis the Only act of my life,--I am ashamed of--"And, yet, it can not be for that, that all my old friends have forsaken me!!!!? "yet I could accuse me of such things, &c"-- I am very "proud, revengeful, ambitious; with more offences--at my back than I have thoughts to put them in.--" what should such a fellow as I do crawling "between earth & heaven? we are "errant Knaves beleive none of us;". At his feet is a paper: ‘Bombastes Furioso’. Place says: "What! can daunt the soul of a master Tailor?!!" yet "who would fardels bear, To groan & sweat under a weary life, When he himself might his own quietus make with a bare bodkin?" Both quote, inaccurately, ‘Hamlet’, III. i. Behind Burdett walks a dwarfish hunchback, burying his face in the former’s coat-tails; he carries a pole surmounted by ink-pot and empty purse. Long papers hang from his pocket: ‘Unpaid Bills Brooks Secty to the Rump’ and ‘Acct of money paid for Bribery &c’. He sobs: "O! Oh! Oh! O!!! The day of Reckoning is at hand!" Caption: ‘assist Mournr Master Brooke full of Cutting panes’. He is followed by four wig-blocks resting on human rumps, and having arms in which they hold poles with black and tricolour draperies inscribed ‘No Wig’. They are ‘The Rump Committee Blockheads 2 & 2--’ They are followed by a crowd of hideous ruffians, a ferocious mob led by butchers holding knives and choppers, and with candles stuck in their bonnets rouges (like sewer-men). Among them is a noseless woman; those behind have bludgeons and a broom, and hold up a (tricolour) banner inscribed: ‘No King No Lords No Coms & No Clargy No Constitution No Laws No Lamb No Nothing but Burdett & Hobby for ever & ever’. They shout: "Hob for ever!; Burdett for ever; Hobhouse; Hobhouse for ever Burdett for ever; Burdett & Hobhouse for ever no Lamb." Caption: ‘Phebotomizers 2 & 2--The rest of the followers--the Scum of Earth’. The procession (left) is headed by the hangman carrying a pole with a cross-piece inscribed ‘Equality’, from which dangle two tiny corpses; this is surmounted by a bonnet rouge. He is: ‘Mister John Ketch Esqr’. After him march four bow-legged or knock-kneed ruffians; two carry bundles of fetters, two hold banners draped with ragged black, and inscribed respectively: ‘Hold to the Laws i.e take ‘em in your own hands No Basteels’, and ‘Reform [reversed] Freedom!! and No Big Wigs’. They are: ‘Acquitted Felons two & two--’ These four wear battered hats without mourning-scarves. Behind them, and immediately in front of the ass, walks Thelwall, wearing a hat with scarf over his bonnet rouge; he holds a paper: ‘Champion’ and shambles dejectedly, saying, "If I be not ashamed of my company, I am a souc’d Gurnet:" "Ill not march through Coventry with them that’s flat". He is ‘Mr Thelwall Esqr’. Beside him is a sign-post pointing (left): ‘To the Bottom less Pit!!’ To this a rat is tied. In the foreground (right) beside the procession two ragged and disreputable women, apparently ballad-singers, sprawl on the ground. One is emaciated, under her hand is a paper: ‘The Rump for ever to the tune of Rumpt--Bum--iti’; from her mouth stream the words: "Oh! D--n my eyes I can’t stand it any longer"; in her bonnet are tricolour ribbons: ‘Hobhouse for ever’. The other, fat and angry, is supported by a hideous scavenger with a bottle inscribed ‘Bribery & Corruption’. She kicks a little ragged boy, who exclaims: "Oh! My Rump!" Caption: ‘NB The figs in ye corner represent the excessive grief of some Rumpti Tumti female Friends of the Rump’. In the background is a mound with a signpost: ‘Tothill Downs’. Down the slope a tiny figure of Hunt, wearing hunting costume, wheels (right to left) a wheelbarrow, ‘N° 38’, containing the carcass of a horse (Cartwright) inscribed ‘Universal Suffrage Annual Parliament’; he shouts "cat’s meat!" In front walks a ‘Black Dwarf’, Wooler, as in No. 12988, &c., dragging the barrow by a rope."--British Museum online catalogue
