Abstract:
Grey stands in the center pulling back a curtain on the large painting (right) addressing the three men (probably Peel, Cumberland, and Wellington) who look on in amazement. Grey says, "Gentlemen this is a fine color'd picture representing Futurity. The idea of which was concieved [sic] by an injured people and painted by a new and promising artist. Reform." Reading from the left Peel looks at himself in the painting seated in a chair at a loom, "Why if there a'nt me at a spinning Jenny." Cumberland, hat flying off, looking at himself depicted in the painting on his backside, "And me dying on a dunghill." And Wellington closest to the painting that depicts him as a wounded soldier holding a broom and begging with his cap in hand, observes "And me begging." In the painting is a tower with the British and French flags the former with the year 1814, referencing the Wellington's successful campaign to end the Peninsular War

"The interior of the House of Commons. The Duchess of Devonshire carries Fox on her shoulders; she looks round at the 'rabble' who follow her, headed by a little chimney-sweep, using his brush and shovel to beat a tune. She says, "When I take a thing in hand I always succeed". Her hair is decorated with a fox's brush. Fox in his orator's attitude, right fist clenched and held out, hat held out in his left hand, says, "I could never have got in without your Grace's assistance". Behind the chimneysweep is (?) Sam House in a shirt and breeches which are unfastened at the knee; he holds up on a pole a chemise or shift inscribed 'All sorts of Shifts made by C. J. Fox', saying, "This is the Devonshire method of introducing Members - Carlo for ever". Behind is a man with a lighted torch or link, saying, 'Sir Cecil has got the Devonshire Cholic'. A band of butchers play on marrow-bones and cleavers; one of them says, "She is a devilish fine Carcass - fine Meat!" On a pole is the cap of Liberty together with a fox's brush and a petticoat. In the background (right) the Speaker, in his chair behind the table with the mace, &c, and clerks are freely sketched: a sea of heads behind indicates the members."--British Museum online catalogue
