"Lord Grantham, in military uniform, wielding the club of Hercules, inscribed 'L G his cane', stands with legs astride, threatening Wooler (left), a tiny 'Black Dwarf, as in British Museum Satires No. 12892, who registers extreme rage or terror. Grantham has enormous moustaches, which fly upwards on each side of his head. A lion's skin hangs from his shoulders, with a solid head which snarls savagely. He wears a bell-shaped shako, long tight trousers strapped under boots, and immense spurs. His left arm, terminating in a huge fist, is extended horizontally. On the left a knock-kneed yokel with bristling moustaches and wearing the cap of a Death's Head hussar, grins in oafish delight, saying, "Well done Col.! well done our side!!! my Zoul! what Honnor this will bring upon our Corpse!!! and if any more Dwarfs or Devils attack's our Regemunt Lord Grant'them all the zame fate, I zay!!" Wooler stands among piles of his paper, 'Black Dwarf', some of which have various inscriptions: 'Strictures on the York Hussars'; 'York you are not wanted'; 'The Devil to Pay'; 'a Lame Story to the Yellow Bonze at Japan'; 'universal Suffrage'; and (adapting 'As You Like It'), 'Then a Soldier, full of Strong Oaths & bearded like the Pard Jealous in Honor Sudden & quick in quarrel seeking the bubble Reputation Ev'n in the printing office'. He wears an ink-pot for hat, with three large pen-feathers; at his waist is a tricolour cockade. On the wall behind him is a framed picture of 'The Yellow Bonze', a grotesque imp, squatting with outspread fingers, and registering surprise. Below is a broadside headed by figures hanging from a gallows."--British Museum online catalogue
