Abstract:: "A cock with the head of Wellington stands tied to a peg, on a round board, supported on a low post (right). A short truculent-looking woman in a man's patched coat, with a bundle of sticks under her arm, stands beside the bird, which is undamaged and in fine feather; she invites its enemies to throw: 'Shy away he's a real good un.' An angry cleric, in shovel hat and apron, stands with a bundle of sticks under his arm; he says : 'I'll have every tenth throw.' "Paul Pry", one hand resting on his umbrella, stoops forward, about to throw a stick topped by a little figure of Wellington as a coachman, touching his hat, as in British Museum Satires No. 15731; his face is hidden by his raised arm. Behind him, three men confer conspiratorially, each with a stick, inscribed respectively 'Chronicle', 'Times', 'Herald'. In the foreground on the extreme left Cumberland, in hussar uniform, is in conversation with Eldon, who points over his shoulder with his thumb, and exclaims 'Lost my Stick!!!'."--British Museum online catalogue

Image Count:: 1
Resource Type:: still image
Abstract:: "A provincial evening party; all the guests are elderly, plain, and unfashionable. Those in the foreground sit in an irregular semicircle. Three men laugh together on the left, one makes a gesture which jerks a woman's tea-cup from her hand; she scowls at him with fury. The scalding tea pours over the leg of her neighbour on the right who flourishes his cane, knocking off the wig of a man who stands behind. This man throws up his arms, his cup and saucer fly into the air, the tea pouring on to the head of the man with the cane. The man losing his wig is struck in the face by a spurt of tea from the mouth of a man on the right, trying to restrain his laughter at the sequence of accidents, and unaware that his own skimpy pigtail is burning in a candle. These last two stand behind the semicircle. Behind it (left) four people are playing cards. In the centre two men stand facing each other in profile, much amused."--British Museum online catalogue
