- Abstract:
- "The Lord Chancellor (Eldon), preceded by his mace-bearer holding a sword, is about to alight on the pavement outside Westminster Hall (left), having flown diagonally down from the right; next him is (?) the Vice-Chancellor Plumer, close behind are eight other judges followed by a closely packed swarm of barristers who recede in perspective. All are in wig and gown. Behind the barristers are their clerks, wearing top-hats and carrying (green) brief-bags over their shoulders. Three men stand outside the door of Westminster Hall waiting obsequiously to receive the Chancellor and his swarm; one is a constable holding his staff, the others wear black gowns, the foremost having cloven hoofs. In the street below (right) a few terrified pedestrians look up at the monstrous flight."--British Museum online catalogue
