"A fight between Lyndhurst and Peel with Ellenborough and Wellington as bottle-holders. Lyndhurst (left), in Chancellor's wig and gown, staggers back, arms flung out, at a punch on the nose from Peel who lunges forward, ruthlessly pugnacious. Ellenborough, dressed and behaving as a dandy (in tight-waisted blue coat and white bell-shaped trousers), holding a tubular eau-de-cologne bottle, emblem of the dandy, cf. BM Satires No. 13031, registers alarm, exclaiming, 'Oh! Oh! my dear Lud, take care--he's a terrible hitter--or he'll have your Ludship's dear head in Chancery.' Wellington (right), in uniform with sword, gauntlets, and heavily spurred cavalry boots, says: 'That's it Bob; serve him out--He won't ride rusty after this I know.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two men stand on the pavement outside a door-way under the pediment of which are the royal arms. Beneath them and over the doorway is inscribed, "Lovejoy, Kings arms Tavern", cf. British Museum Satires No. 4995. This appears to be a representation of the entrance to Covent Garden Theatre. The taller of the two men (left) has snatched off the other's wig, and holds it up in his right hand. In his left hand is his sword, broken off below the hilt; his hat is on the ground. Behind and to the right stands a short stout man with bare shaved head; his hat is in his right hand. The taller man is dressed in the prevailing macaroni fashion and has a certain resemblance to Colman, then part-proprietor and manager of Covent Garden Theatre, see British Museum Satires No. 5064. The wig of the other is of the type worn by 'cits', see British Museum Satires No. 5463."--British Museum online catalogue

"A very fat and jovial volunteer, dressed as a light horseman, holds ln his left hand a pole on which is the head of Napoleon in profile to the right. and wearing a huge cocked hat decorated with plumes, tricolour cockade, gold lace, and tassels. The hand that holds the pole holds also, by the hair, a bunch of bleeding heads which form a grisly garland round it. In his right hand is his sabre. He is surrounded by women; two embrace him, others hasten up; he swaggers with raised left leg, saying, "There you rouges, there! there's the Boney Part - twenty more killed them!! twenty more killed them too!! I have destroyed half the Army with this same Toledo." The women say, respectively: "Bless the Warrior that saved our Virgin charms"; "take care I'll smother him with Kisses"; "Oh! what frightful Heads how ravishing they look, - they would have used us ill I am sure"; "ha ha, thats, that great man little Boney, how glum he looks." An elderly spinster exclaims: "ah bless him he has saved us from Death and Vileation." A handsome woman turns to a tall young man in civilian dress on the extreme left, saying, "There you Poltroon look how that noble Hero's Caressed!" He turns away, saying, "Ods Niggins I wish I had been a Soldier too then the Girls would have run after me - but I never could bear the smell of Gun powder"."--British Museum online catalogue
