Repulsed but not discouragedDoyle, John, 1797-1868, printmakerMay 24, 1830.eng"O'Connell and Brougham (in wig and gown) stand together, watching the efforts of Wellington and Peel to close a door against a bearded Jew who tries to push in. The Jew: 'Pray let me in! I am sure I shall Behave myself, as well as some, whom you have admitted'. Peel, on the extreme right: 'I cannot let you pass, if I admit you the respectable Gentleman in the broad brim andall therest, will expect to get in'. Wellington: 'He must not be let in yet P----l, but if we dont take care the fellow will slip in, in spite of us'. O'Connell, pleased at the contest: 'Agitate friend Moses Agitate! that's the way I got in' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 15662, &c.]. Brougham, right arm extended forensically, says: 'You exclude the Jew and Quaker, while the Atheist, who laughs at your oaths, obtains Admission'. Behind, an atheist, leering at Brougham, kisses a Testament opposite the seated Clerk who is administering the oath. On the left is a group of dissenters (admitted in 1828, see British Museum Satires No. 15530); one is Irving, holding top-hat and tall cane. In the background, through an archway, bishops (who had declared themselves opposed to Jewish emancipation) are seen ascending stairs towards the throne, where a king is indicated. See British Museum Satires No. 16097."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from text below image.Print signed with the monogram "HB," which was used by John Doyle.Lacking the usual series title "HB Sketches" and numbering in upper right, but number 63 in that series according to the British Museum catalogue.
