- 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:
- "A mail-coach inscribed 'Sovereig, Windsor and London', with high-stepping horses, is driven, left to right, by Wellington, who wears fashionable coaching dress with multiple-caped coat and broad-brimmed hat. He has just passed a rival coach, 'the Humbug & Co London Windsor', which has overturned, after colliding with a roadside post inscribed 'Emancipation'. An alarmed face looks out of the window; the traces have broken, the front wheels are off; the driver, Eldon, has fallen on his back on to the prostrate wheelers. The Duke of Cumberland falls head first from the frail dickey; another man (? Winchilsea) falls from the roof, which is stacked high with bulky petitions, one inscribed 'Old Womans Petition']; a paper also falls to the ground inscribed 'Bigotry, Ignorance, Intolerance, Loaves, Fishes, Pensions, Places'. Behind Wellington, on "The Sovereign", sit four men: Brougham, in barrister's wig and holding a brief-bag, a bishop, Burdett, a judge (probably Lyndhurst). The guard is Peel, who stands up, horn in hand, to say to the Duke: 'I say governor we've done em up at last, they will never recover themselves any more.' Wellington, looking over his shoulder, answers: 'No No, they are quite done up that post has smash'd them.' The inside passengers are George IV and Lady Conyngham; he leans out to watch the catastrophe, saying with a smile, 'Floored by George.' She says: 'Aye Aye George we've gotten a Coachman now vot is up to a thing or two, and knows vot is vot.' Brougham: 'Why the concern has been in a bad way some time they say that it is so rotten that all the Rats abandoned it.' The bishop: 'Its lucky they had few passengers.' Burdett: 'No wonder they upset they had too much rubbish on the roof'. The coach flies a flag inscribed 'True Patriotism Honor Truth Liberality'; it is decorated with the Royal Arms: shamrock and roses. There is a background of trees dominated on the right by Windsor Castle."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Wellington, handsome and youthful, stands beside his white charger; he wears a star (K.G., 4 Mar. 1813) and a star dangles from his horse's head. A young officer runs up to him from the left hat in hand, proffering a field marshal's baton; he says: "General I greet you with the tydeings of complete Victory the Usurper and his Field Marshal have fled, and left all their Cannon, Amunition, Baggage, Military Chest, provision, and I here present you with Marshall Jourdans Baton of command!" Wellington says: "May this Trophy prove--our hope of future victory, and England once more restore Spain to her lawful Soveriegn!" Between and behind them stands a third officer, looking at Wellington with both arms raised ecstatically. On the extreme right and almost in back view an officer looks through a telescope saying, "There goes King Joey!" He looks towards tiny figures on a bluff (left) near the towers of Vittoria. They stand on raised ground in the foreground. Behind (left) English infantry run forward with fixed bayonets; bodies lie on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Mathews (left) gives a selection from his "Entertainments"; he stands behind his accustomed small draped table, which is lit by candles in place of the usual lamps. A pianist sits at the grand piano. The King stands as if making a speech: he is giving an imitation of John Kemble, evoked by Mathews's imitation thought by the King "too boisterous". On his right sits Marchioness of Conyngham, on his left Princess Augusta. Knighton stands behind the former. Five men (portraits) stand behind the royal settee: Liverpool, Wellington, and Hertford are recognizable. The room has an ornate cornice and Ionic pillars. Behind Mathews are two tall Chinese folding screens.-- See British Museum catalogue
