"Wellington takes a flying stride from a braying ass (right) with tail erect and its feet firmly planted. His hair rises, his top-hat falls off, and he looks behind him to say: 'Oh save me, save, Bob, run tell the King!' The donkey (Key) brays 'fe . fa . fum'. It wears a heavy chain and is draped by a furred livery gown marked with the City Arms."--British Museum online catalogue
