A caricature on the prevalence of bribery during elections, most probably that of 1826. The successful liberal candidate stands on a platform before a cheering crowd and people waving from the windows of adjoining building. In the 'Committee Room' behind him, an official pays a man holding a sign inscribed 'No bribery or corruption' with the word 'and' between bribery and corruption scored through.
