- Abstract:
- Wellington drives a large new coach pulled by three horses with human heads. He is dressed in a a triple-caped greatcoat and broad brimmed hat and flicks the long whip with skill on the backs of the horses depicted with the heads of John Bull and on either side, stock characters of an Irishman and Scotsman wearing traditional hats. They ride on a road labelled "national debt' as the horses hoves sink in the mud labelled "sinking fund." Peel rides behind in the conductor's seat. One of the four curtains on the windows of the omnibus is pulled aside to reveal George IV about to kiss Lady Conyngham. The splash board of the new omnibus is painted with the gold initials 'GR' and a crown

- Abstract:
- The Duke of Wellington stands before the King who sits on his throne, his right foot resting on a footstool. Dressed in uniform and standing very erect, Wellington holds out a large cross-hilted sword at an angle between himself and the King. From his plumed cocked hat, which he holds behind him, hangs a piece of paper with the words "Military commission to throw dust in John Bull's eyes." Projecting from his back pockets, are two papers labelled "Church patronage" and "Army patronage." A lady, Lady Conyngham, is seen peaking between the curtains behind the throne of the puzzled-looking King. The crown is on a table behind Wellington

- Abstract:
- "The Queen, crowned, in royal robes and with a sceptre in her left hand, sits regally in the Coronation Chair. Justice, blindfolded and menacing, stands at her right hand; Truth, irradiated and holding up her mirror so that its rays illuminate the Queen, is on her left hand. A stone slab supporting the throne rests on eight hydra-heads with serpents' masks. The centre head is that of Eldon, with two other judges, one with a leech on the cheek indicating Leach (see British Museum Satires No. 13740). Castlereagh, very Mephistophelian, is on the extreme left, Sidmouth and Liverpool on the right; there are two unidentified heads, one presumably Harrowby. Round Queen, chair, &c. are clouds. In the upper left corner, two demons, spitting and excreting thunderbolts, carry off the King 'To Hanover'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The King, in Chinese costume and seated on a cushion, among the chinoiseries of the Pavilion (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12749), throws up his arms in terror at the entry (right) of the Queen, closely followed by Alderman Wood. Her demure dress contrasts with that of a woman, who, much alarmed, runs off to the left from beside the King. Sidmouth (left) and Castlereagh (right), both in Chinese dress, are equally terrified, and Lord Eldon peeps anxiously from behind a little pagoda. Both visitors extend an arm towards the King in an authoritative gesture. Words float from them towards the King: 'Nothing extenuate nor set down aught in Malice [Othello, v. ii] men sleeping with her at Black Heath 1808 v. call Hoods [sic].'"--British Museum online catalogue
