Abstract:: "Eight dissenting ministers, headed by Dr. Abraham-Rees, approach the King with an address whose inscription is the only title; it continues: 'in & about the Cities of London & Westmr We your Majesty s loyal and faithful...' Rees, a bulky 'Encyclopedia' in his coat-pocket, puts one foot on a step leading to a doorway within which are visible the legs of the seated King, and his right. hand, which rests on a wall-box from which issues a paper: 'Bramah Patent Water [C]losets'. Just outside the door, holding his long wand of office, Salisbury, the Lord Chamberlain (actually Dartmouth, cf. British Museum Satires No. 10283A), stands stiffly looking over the heads of the Addressers, who are ushered in by a beef-eater on the extreme left. Rees is scarcely caricatured except for a grotesque stalk-like neck which issues absurdly from a wide coat-collar. Behind him is Theophilus Lindsey, holding his hat and a big umbrella. Most of the other six are probably portraits, but two may be generalized sectaries with lank hair. All have sour, apprehensive expressions. A quasi-Tudor window suggests St. James's Palace. A whole length portrait of Charles I is issuing from the frame, one hand held up in horror. Over the door of the inner closet are the Royal Arms."--British Museum online catalogue
