- Abstract:
- "A scene in Smithfield Market. Henry Hunt, with the head of an ass, addresses cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs, all on their hind-legs, from a large open cart. He stands in front of a large armchair placed across the end of the cart, his arms raised oratorically, saying, "I shall be ambitious indeed if I thought my Bray could be heard by the immense and respectable multitude I have the Honour to address--" At his right hand flies a large red flag (see British Museum Satires No. 12999, &c.) inscribed 'Universal Suffrage', at his left is a corresponding blue one, inscribed 'Peace And Goodw[ill]'. These are lashed to the back of his chair. Beside each flag-staff is a smaller pole with a notice: 'Order'. The animals fill the square; from their heads float the words: "Hear Hear"; "Hear! Hear!"; "Bravo"; "Bravo! Bravo!"; "Excellent!" The windows of the adjacent houses are filled with tiny spectators; others watch from the roofs. Under the cart lies a drover's dog holding a bâton in its teeth and wearing a ribbon inscribed 'Usher of the Black' [Rod]."--British Museum online catalogue
