"The Queen stands full face, at the base of a pillar (right), holding up a scroll: 'Firm in my Innocence and secure of my Peoples Love, I smile at my Enemies impotent attempts to injure me, And Ride Secure Amid The Storm.' In her left hand is a rolled document: 'Defence'. She wears a feathered hat and an ermine-bordered robe over her dress. The pillar, part only being within the design, is wreathed with olive alternately with bands on each curve of which is inscribed one of the places making addresses to her: 'City of Londo[n]', 'City of West[minster]', 'Southwar[k]', 'County of Midd[lesex]'. On the base is an irradiated sun in a laurel wreath. Beside the Queen (left) is a pile of cylindrical documents, each inscribed 'Address'. The Royal Standard hangs behind her head, its staff projecting from behind the pillar."--British Museum online catalogue

"Henry Hunt (right) hurls a jar of his 'Hunts Matchless Blacki[ng]' at the Lord Mayor (William Thompson). The Mayor, who wears his gown, raises the City mace defensively in both hands. Hunt registers frenzied rage; he holds a second jar in his left hand; at his feet is a paper: 'Petition against increased Duty on Coals'. Just behind him is a pugnacious coal-heaver clutching a blacking-jar; he says: 'Go it, my covey another black un--d--n me, if Blackey and Coaley can't do it the devil's in 'em.' The Mayor smiles, despite a cascade of blacking. Behind him and on the extreme left is a barrister in wig and gown, probably the Recorder (Newman Knowlys). He says: 'Mind what your at my hearty--keep up your favorite guard or he'll beat you as black as his own factory.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Lord Mayor sits (right) in profile to the left in a chair of state facing a city officer in a long gown holding a wand who leads in a file of five amused 'cits', three men and two women. The officer says: "Here are a number of People brought before your Honor, by your Honor's Order, for not keeping the pavement clean before their Houses in Frosty Weather - according to the Act of Parliament for that purpose; but the worst of all is - here is a Worthy Alderman, lays information, that the pavement before your Honor's Door is as much neglected as any of the rest - and moreover says that he himself had a fall there in the late Frost, which shook him so much, that he has been unable to digest Turtle or Venison ever since - A material injury to one of the Body Corporate." The alderman, who heads the file, clasps an enormous paunch. The Mayor answers, proffering a coin: "Well, Well, if that is the case, take my five Shillings, and say no more about the Business." The Mayor wears spectacles and a chain of office; he has not the plebeian appearance of the alderman and his companions. (Charles Price was Lord Mayor 1802-3.)"--British Museum online catalogue
