"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

"William IV stands, very erect and stern, in profile to the right, holding at arm's length a birch-rod inscribed 'Reform'. Behind him, as ushers, on the extreme left, Brougham and Grey stand in consultation. The King says to a body of discomfited schoolboys (right): 'Get you gone and never let me see your faces again till you are Reformed'. The boys are (left to right) Wellington, wearing a peaked cap and an old, over-large, military coat, and carrying a bag, walks hand in hand with Peel who wears an ill-fitting policeman's tunic and holds a slate on which is scrawled the figure of a policeman (see British Museum satires no. 15768, &c). Beside and behind them are Sadler and Wetherell. In front of Peel walks Twiss with a book under his arm; next him is the small Sugden wearing a pinafore. Taller than the others are Hunt wearing a hunting-cap and holding ajar of his blacking (see British Museum satires no. 16575) and Sir R. Wilson wearing a smock and a cap and holding a slate inscribed 'Bob Wilson'. Wellington to Peel: 'Oh Bobby--Bobby what shall we do now?' Wetherell, looking back, says (as late M.P. for Boroughbridge, cf. British Museum Satires No. 16602): 'I am afraid I shall never be admitted into the school again'. Hunt: 'Who would have thought I should have been Hunt-ed out already'. Wilson: 'Its a shocking bad Job' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 16646]."--British Museum online catalogue

"Fox is being chaired by demons, who advance towards flames (left) in which stands a devil with a pitch-fork waiting to receive him. Fox, seated, holding out his hat, his left hand on his breast, says, "Westminster was pretty Hot but this much more so". The demons who support Fox's chair and prance along behind it appear to have been copied from the Devil in British Museum Satires No. 6283. The foremost has the same twisted ram's horns, the claws of a bird of prey, and barbed tail. He shouts "Fox for Ever". His companions resemble him with slight variations. One also says "Fox for Ever", another, holding up a dice-box, says, "He is the Devels own Representative". Two little demons stand in front of the flames; one says "Fox for Ever", holding up a fox's brush, the other blows a trumpet. Two heads of demons look from the fire, and two small black winged creatures are flying in the flames."--British Museum online catalogue
