"Burdett (right) and Brougham (left) as chairmen, carry (left to right) a bottomless sedan-chair enclosing O'Connell, who is forced to walk rapidly, looking from the window towards Brougham to say 'Mighty like a walk this after all'. He wears barrister's wig and gown. The chair is surmounted by shamrock and is inscribed 'M.P.' The chairmen wear livery coats; Burdett is bareheaded, and wears his usual top-boots and breeches; Brougham wears barrister's wig and bands with a battered hat."--British Museum online catalogue

"Canning stands on a platform (left) which is surrounded by a dense crowd of ruffianly looking Irishmen, some with pikes and banners. With his top-hat in his right hand, the (gloved) left hand extended, he says: Gentlemen, may I beg to know what it is you all want?--you may depend upon my firm support. One of the mob, raising a clenched fist, answers: Now dont you know what we want better than ourselves? so you do. O the devils in it but you have a bad memory. Well den we want our Rights my dear honey. Other shouts are: Yes and our Wrongs; And the Parliament; And the Union back again. A tattered ruffian with a cocked blunderbuss inscribed Redress says Musha--bad luck to you. Two shout O Connell for ever, and a third says: By the powers of Potteen we'll have O'Connell in Parliament to assist you my darling. Two men shout Erin go Bragh. A man holding a pike shouts Canning for ever well done my Jewel. Four others: Down with the Orangemen; Success to Captain Rock [see British Museum Satires No. 14675]; And the good old days of King James; Och! Spelspeen. A villainous-looking monk holds a large cross inscribed Religion; it is topped by a spike supporting a bonnet rouge. A crosier to which is tied a large money-bag inscribed Catholic Rent is held high. Banners are inscribed: O'Connell for ever; Six Millions of People [red] surmounted by a green pennant on which is an Irish harp; and Toleration. In the foreground a woman with two children gazes up at Canning; a few other women are among the crowd. A man seated on the shoulders of another plays a fiddle: a bottle is brandished and bludgeons, one spiked, are displayed. An enormous crowd with pikes, receding in perspective, is indicated in the background."--British Museum online catalogue

Canning, George, 1770-1827 and O'Connell, Daniel, 1775-1847.
"O'Connell (unrecognizable) marches jauntily to a door on the extreme right, over which is a board inscribed 'St Ste[phens] To Trespassers Men-Traps--Constantly Set--Beware'; he is followed by an Irish mob, yelling and flourishing shillelaghs. He wears barrister's wig and gown with a mitre-shaped cap decorated with a cross, shamrock, and bells (emblem of folly). Under his right arm is a large book inscribed '1 & 2'; his left hand rests on a stout stick. His gown is held up by a ragamuffin and the procession is headed by a bloated priest who holds up on a bludgeon a placard: 'Unconditional Emancipation O C For Ever'; this is surmounted with shamrock. The crowd are evidently from St. Giles and similar Irish slums in London; two carry hods, emblem of the Irish builder's labourer or hodman. On the extreme left in the foreground is an Irish basket-woman, holding her basket, smoking a short pipe; she shouts 'Stop wid ye now--are ye goin to lave the ladies behind--ye blackguards.' She is barefooted, very ragged, and wears a soldier's jacket (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15721). See British Museum Satires No. 15759, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"William IV, as Mars, in Roman armour, stands defiantly in a war-chariot drawn by three galloping horses, ridden by Discord, a virago with serpents for hair, who brandishes a handful of serpents. He holds a shield inscribed 'Signed Protocols', and a levelled spear; on his helmet is a dragon with gaping jaws. The chariot advances upon terrified Dutch soldiers (left), who flee; one drops his musket, but one on the extreme left (William I) stands firm beside the muzzle of a cannon and glares at the King with an obstinate scowl. They have high-crowned hats, with a ribbon inscribed 'Orange'. Facing the chariot-horses (left) are a menacing Russian bear and a Prussian Death's Head hussar with a levelled blunderbuss. Discord, looking sideways at the Prussian though turning away from him, says: 'A word in your Ear! there's nothing meant, its all show just to frighten these Dutchmen a little'. Under the chariot is a document inscribed 'Treatys'; the wheel is about to collide with a large stone inscribed 'Ireland', on which the features of O'Connell are faintly suggested. Behind the chariot are three Furies, with serpents for hair, and holding firebrands and bunches of serpents. Rushing forward, they urge the King on; they are (left to right) Grey, Durham, and Brougham. As a background to the chariot a swarm of countless frogs (French soldiers) is dimly suggested; they rush forward, with a tricolour flag. On the front of the chariot perches a Gallic cock. In the foreground (right) stands John Bull, stout and spectacled; he clutches his 'Reform Bill', and gapes up in horror, saying, 'Hey dey here's a bobbery, just as I was going to look over my Reform Bill quietly, what do they mean not to go to war sure now,!! after suffering Poland to be annihilated & Germany trampled on, Oh nonsense! Nonsense'."--British Museum online catalogue
