- Abstract:
- "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

- Abstract:
- "A scene in Smithfield Market. Henry Hunt, with the head of an ass, addresses cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs, all on their hind-legs, from a large open cart. He stands in front of a large armchair placed across the end of the cart, his arms raised oratorically, saying, "I shall be ambitious indeed if I thought my Bray could be heard by the immense and respectable multitude I have the Honour to address--" At his right hand flies a large red flag (see British Museum Satires No. 12999, &c.) inscribed 'Universal Suffrage', at his left is a corresponding blue one, inscribed 'Peace And Goodw[ill]'. These are lashed to the back of his chair. Beside each flag-staff is a smaller pole with a notice: 'Order'. The animals fill the square; from their heads float the words: "Hear Hear"; "Hear! Hear!"; "Bravo"; "Bravo! Bravo!"; "Excellent!" The windows of the adjacent houses are filled with tiny spectators; others watch from the roofs. Under the cart lies a drover's dog holding a bâton in its teeth and wearing a ribbon inscribed 'Usher of the Black' [Rod]."--British Museum online catalogue
