Behind him is a curtain with the symbols of Ireland, Scotland and England: lions rampant and a harp. In the distance is another ship at full sail; two cannons ready for action at his feet

"A hand printing-press of metal (a Stanhope Press), supported on the stout legs of a man in breeches which seem to belong to a John Bull, puts to flight mere pigmy humans: two flee to the right, one propelled by a kick from a huge buckled shoe; two others have fallen. Two levers or handles serve as arms; one has a hand which grasps a giant pen, the feather entwined with three serpents which spit flame at the departing legs and cocked hat of Wellington, who, kicked into the air, disappears behind the upper right margin of the design. Another pair of legs, with the black stockings and buckled shoes of Eldon, project from the upper left margin; beside them a single leg and a broom indicate the departing Brougham. A second lever supports a print, 'The Man Wot Drives The Sovereign', copied from British Museum satires no. 15731; a flame issues from the press, threatening to scorch or destroy the print. The press is topped by a cap of Liberty inscribed 'Free Press' and encircled with a wreath. A little demon (a printer's devil) rushes towards the press from the left, holding up a big ink-ball."--British Museum online catalogue
