Behind him is the front portion of an ornate chair, as in the French print. Brougham stands full-face, as usher, holding a big birch-rod (see British Museum Satires No. 15535). Four pupils sit on the front bench behind them is another row of four; Wellington stands behind on a stool (invisible) wearing a fool's cap, like an extinguisher, decorated with bells. He holds a torn primer, and with his fingers to his mouth says 'I Can't Reform'. Peel is the only boy who looks at Grey. The pupils are ill-drawn and badly characterized; two are Lyndhurst and Goulburn, wearing spectacles. All (except Lyndhurst, who is in wig and gown) wear boyish dress, with white neck-frills or collars, some wearing pinafores."--British Museum online catalogue
