Lord George Gordon President of the Protestant Association / [graphic]

"Gordon stands full face, pointing with his cane to a roll inscribed "Protestant Petition", which shows signatures in two columns, another roll lies beside it. His right foot rests on a book inscribed "Popery". He is plainly dressed, lank hair falling on his neck; in his left hand, which is gloved, he holds out his hat and his other glove. Behind him is the point of intersection of the five roads which crossed in St. George's Fields, beside which are drawn up in close order members of the Protestant Association as they are supposed to have met before marching to Westminster on 2 June, but with a complete and military regularity which is very different from fact. Letters refer to explanations below the print. A circle (left) inscribed "B" is the "London Division"; two concentric circles, "D", are the "Scotch Division" (right). Behind (left) is a large tent, and a semicircle of petitioners "A" which represents the "Southwark Division". Opposite them (right) and drawn up facing two roads is "C", the "Westminster Division". Beneath the title is engraved, "President of the Protestant Association"."--British Museum online catalogue
