"Eldon's head rests on a candle-end which is in an elaborate candle-stick of gold plate, standing on the ground. Wellington (left), in uniform, reaches up to cover it with a huge extinguisher inscribed 'Catholic Bill Majority 168'; he says: 'Thus I obscure you, ne'er to shine again.' Eldon looks to the left, registering intensive melancholy; rays from his head, obstructed on the left by the extinguisher, strike against the profile of George IV, whose head, shoulder, and paunch project from the right margin, leaning towards the candle. The King says 'Poor Old Bags!' (Cf. British Museum Satires No. 12883.)"--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
