Abstract:
"The Devil, laden with Tories, strides to the left, quoting the Duke of Newcastle with a gloating grin: 'Can't I do what I like with MY OWN' [see BM Satires No. 15884, &c.]. Across his shoulder is a trident on which a bloated bishop is spiked. From the lower end of the handle a rat-trap (see BM Satires No. 15734), on which Peel sits, hangs by a rope. Wellington, encircled by the barbed tail, is dragged along, kicking violently. He is in uniform with spurred boots; a gibbet projects from his cocked hat. Under the Devil's arm are two lawyers: Wetherell in his slovenly dress, and Lyndhurst. The remainder are tied by ropes to the Devil's back; most prominent (left to right) are Ellenborough, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Croker. The others are scarcely characterized; a Scots cap may denote Lauderdale, a renegade."--Britism Museum online catalogue

Sitting in the open door to a shabby-looking room, John Robinson, former Secretary to the Treasury, watches rats with human bodies crawl on their hands and knees toward traps that offer political or personal advancement. His identity is revealed by a partially visible portrait, signed, "Robinson Crusoe," hanging above the doorway. On the walls hang an unframed portrait of William III partially concealed by a huge spider-web, a framed portrait of Charles I, and a tattered document inscribed, "Magna Charta in fine preservation."
