Abstract:
"Burdett, young and handsome, stands between two contrasted men. He takes the left hand of a stout good-looking fellow: 'The Genius of Honour and Integrity', and points with a gesture of dismissal to 'The Monster of Corruption', a hideous and grotesque old man who departs to the right, clutching money-bags. Above Burdett's head: 'Look here upon this picture, and on this, And then Judge for Yourselves'. He wears a ribbon like a Garter ribbon inscribed 'MAGNA CHARTA Bill of Rights'. Against the head of 'The Genius of Honour' are inscriptions: 'A sound Mind'; 'An Eye ever watchful to the Welfare of his fellow Citizens.'; 'A Tongue that never belied a good Heart'. On his shoulder: 'A Shoulder that never shrinks in trouble'. A placard across his chest: 'An Upright Breast and an Honest Heart'. On his paunch: 'A Lover of Peace and Plenty A Plain Liver'. His pocket: 'Pocket ever open to the Necessities of his Fellow Creatures'. Knee: 'A Knee to Religion'. Leg: 'Legs ever steady in his Country Cause'. In his right hand, inscribed 'Hand of Justice', he holds a paper: 'A Staunch Supporter of the Bill of Rights An Advocate for a Fair Representation of the People An Enemy to Bribery and Corruption'. 'The Monster' has a large grotesque head; his bald scalp is inscribed 'Professions and Promises'; the eye-socket is covered with a white disk: 'An Eye to Interest'; his projecting nose: 'A Scent for Interest'; his projecting toothless jaw: 'A Mouth of Guile'. He wears a 'Collar of Corruption'. The arm: 'Arms of Power'; hand: 'Hands of Extortion', holding a bag: 'Pensions Reversions Perquisites of Office'. In the left hand: 'Bag of Bribery'. On his chest: 'A Cringinge Soul'. On his paunch: 'Pampered Appetite'. His coat-pocket bulges with 'Secret Service Mony'. His right leg: 'Legs of Luxury'; his left thigh: 'A Rotten Borough'; shoe: 'Feet of Connivance'."--British Museum online catalogue

Below, an elderly military officer without sword or gorget, scowls through an eye-glass at a pert boy (right) in uniform with sword and gorget. He says: Can I believe my eyes, why this is the little foot boy--who waited on us at the house of a Lady of a certain description. The boy (Carter) answers, hands on hips, I beg Sir you will not come for to go, to affront a gemmen--."--British Museum online catalogue
