The opponents of parliamentary reform, including Wellington and Peel, attempt to pull down a column topped by Lord John Russell, a portrait of William IV on the plinth. The "Explanation of the engraving": This spirited sketch was originally designed by George Cruikshank. Esq., of Pentouville, London. The column in the centre is dedicated to the "King and Constitution," on the base of which is a portrait of his present Majesty, William IV. On the top of the columnn [sic] stands Lord John Russell, holding in his hand the Mirror of Truth. On the left of the pillar the Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, and others are attempting with cords, axes, &c. to overturn the column; while on on [sic] the right, Lord Chancellor Brougham and Earl Grey stand in a calm and dignfied position, smiling at the futile attempts of the Boroughmongers to overturn the People's Rights. On the same side Lord Althorp is seen bearing a banner, representing the future prosperity of England, and the Attorney General (Sir Thomas Denman) is supporting the Flag of Victory

"Heading to engraved verses: 'Sung with Unbounded Applause by Mr Miller, at the royal Circus'. A handsome young sailor, wearing long trousers and a striped jersey, stands full face, cudgel under the r. holding up his hat. He is framed in trees; behind is the river, with boats and wherries, and, across the water, the river-front of Greenwich Hospital. He relates how he ran away to sea, sailed 'the world around' with Nelson, was taken prisoner, and escaped from a Spanish prison. The verses end: 'I've run many risks on ocean and on shore, But always like a Briton, got the day, And fighting in old England's cause, will run as many more But let me face ten thousand foes, will never run away.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Eight little girls in party frocks do dance-steps while an agitated dancing-master leans angrily towards them, playing his fiddle. Other little girls watch from a bench (right).

An ugly old woman snuffs a candle while she menaces the group of boys. On the wall are a sampler and drawings perpetrated by the pupils.
