The Birmingham new member, A man of metal, or, A match for ministers [graphic].

"Birmingham brass-founders have cast a large brazen head, representing Sir Charles Wolseley, and are about to place it upon a full-dressed effigy without a head, which two men hold erect under a tripod. Two workmen carry the head from a furnace (left) towards the tripod; a third who stands behind says: "Say what they will of our Member they can't say he wants Head!!" One of the pair, who strain under the weight, answers: "No or that he is light headed!" The other adds: "Faith they'll soon find that out if they should come to logerheads." The (normal-sized) body is under the tripod from which hang ropes by which the head is to be hoisted into position. One of the men holding the ropes looks round to ask: "Have you put Brass enough in the [head] he'll soon be put out of countenance if you have 'nt." Two of the others say: "We are the Body and shanks when they are wanted you know!" and "Now Lads up with it! never mind a little mistake in proportion--it's a Head we want!" Behind them (left) is a furnace. From the right workmen hurry forward, one carrying two large cans of beer; one of them shouts: "Here is the liquor and the Parson, so make haste that we may Christen him." On the left lie the moulds in which the head and limbs have been cast. Tools and tankards are also on the ground. Through an opening in the wall behind the men are seen smoking kilns."--British Museum online catalogue
