Abstract:
A satire on the electoral Reform Bill of 1831, which was passed soon after this print was issued. Grant shows the figure of blind Justice leaning out from a mass of billowing clouds and holding her scales labelled "Reform 1813". The load on the left side labeled "People', though containing fewer documents -- Magna Carta, Economy & Retrenchment, Peace of Plenty, Extension of the Electi[c] Franchise, Cheap Government -- is heavier than the other plate "Oligarchy" which is weighted down by: Bribes, Corruption, Six Acts, Corn Law, Church, Rotten Boroughs, Corporation Charters, Law & Iniquity, Taxes, Imposts, Holy Alliance, [F?]onal Debt. A group of four men in the left foreground include a judge; the one man says "Behold! a mere feather turns the ballance in our favour and saves us from revolution & disgrace." Just beyond them in the middle distance the King stands firmly and says "The triumph of this great & vital cause will fix my crown more firm upon my head." On the right a group of over six men including a clergyman who wipes his brow and cries "The draft is in their favor. Our cause is lost. Oh dictatorium, dictatorium, dic-". Another gentleman behind him cries "They may vainly recken on a paltry unit, we have yet power to rent it peicemeal [sic]." In the distance a crowd cheers, and some hold signs for "Reform" and "Support the King & his ministers", etc
