An obese John Bull depicted as a yokel in a smock, claps his hands to egg on a terrier with the head of Eldon who holds a rat with the head of Wellington in his teeth. John Bull says, "Thats right Old Boy, give it em what they thougth you had lost all your teeth. Give it' em Scott & lot." Other rats with human heads scurry away in terror, one with the head of Peel (?) has been flung into the air. John Bull stands in the doorway to the barn. The Church spire in the distance behind him is propped up by two beams, one of which is labelled: Prop

A Cardinal-Legate with attendant clergy gives absolution to Lyndhurst, Peel, and Wellington who kneel before a throne on a dais, their hands in prayer.

Attendant clergy include two obese monks or friars, one of whom holds a candle, the other a grotesque image of the Virgin. Also in attendance is a Jesuit who holds a triple cross and claps a rosary and a thin, sly-looking priest who also holds a candle

"Above the design: '"Take heed, have open eyes; for thieves do foot abroad [sic]. Shakespeare' ['Merry Wives', II. i] 'Render unto Seizer those things which are Seizers.' A bishop (right), wearing apron and shovel-hat, brandy-faced and scowling, walks to the right, using a cane. Dodging behind are Wellington and Peel as ragged pickpockets. The Duke wears a cap, a dilapidated military coat, and old white trousers; twitching a handkerchief from the bishop's coat-tail pocket he says: 'I say Bob-I'll have a dash at the Parsons now.' Peel, dressed as the "Cad" of BM Satires No. 15734, &c, says: 'Odd Rat 'em-I'm afeard on 'em.' The bishop claps his hand over his breeches pocket and scowls; he says: 'Two very suspicious looking fellows-dodging me about-I hope they are not going to pick my pocket.'"--British Museum online catalogue and A bishop wearing an apron walks to the right.

Abstract:
"A huge pot rests directly on a fierce fire from blazing bank-notes. The scene is outside the Bank of England, the façade being on the extreme right. From it porters are carrying huge stacks of 'Notes' to add to the flames. The pot is inscribed 'Bank Pot' [twice], and 'Cash Payments at the Bottom of this Pot', where it is badly cracked owing to the fire. The pot is filled with Bank Directors, whose heads and arms emerge. They shriek: "I am in a Stew"; "I am sure the Pots Crackd," and "Take care it don't Break." A fashionably dressed man ascends a ladder leaning against the pot (right); he shouts to those inside "have you found the Gold." The fire is being stirred up by (?) Peel; Vansittart, in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown, uses a mace to push the man up the ladder. Huge clouds of smoke ascend from the fire covering much of the design; they are inscribed 'Smoke' and 'Cash Payments Smoke'. Two spectators stand on the left, watching the hurly-burly. One, a 'cit', says: "There's a pretty Kettle of Fish." The other, a countryman in a smock, answers: "Lord bless you they ban't Fish they be all paper"."--British Museum online catalogue

William IV sculls a randan under the arch of a bridge with Wellington at the stern and Peel in the bow. He looks over his shoulder at the other two and says, "Come look a head."

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
