Abstract:: "Canning and Eldon, both in shirt-sleeves and about equally matched, face each other in a small boat: Cabinet. Cock Boat. The very ornate boat resembles a Canadian canoe in general shape; the paddles go through big apertures encircled by the points of a star; that of Canning is Deplomatic Sagacity; Eldon uses the mace, which is inscribed Pelf Patronage Parsimony [see British Museum Satires No. 15139]. At each end of the boat is a figure-head, one of the supporters of the Royal Arms, each with a flag-staff set in its head. Behind Canning (left) is the Unicorn; his flag Catholic Supremacy. The Lion is behind Eldon (right), with the flag of Protestant Ascendancy. Canning: I shall be too much for you you are too slow in your Motions. Eldon : I doubt it! The Purse of the Great Seal hangs over the boat beside Eldon, who wears wig and bands. On the extreme right the sun rises (or sets)--it irradiates the sky behind Eldon."--British Museum online catalogue
