Abstract:
A satire on the electoral Reform Bill of 1831, which was passed soon after this print was issued. Grant shows the figure of blind Justice leaning out from a mass of billowing clouds and holding her scales labelled "Reform 1813". The load on the left side labeled "People', though containing fewer documents -- Magna Carta, Economy & Retrenchment, Peace of Plenty, Extension of the Electi[c] Franchise, Cheap Government -- is heavier than the other plate "Oligarchy" which is weighted down by: Bribes, Corruption, Six Acts, Corn Law, Church, Rotten Boroughs, Corporation Charters, Law & Iniquity, Taxes, Imposts, Holy Alliance, [F?]onal Debt. A group of four men in the left foreground include a judge; the one man says "Behold! a mere feather turns the ballance in our favour and saves us from revolution & disgrace." Just beyond them in the middle distance the King stands firmly and says "The triumph of this great & vital cause will fix my crown more firm upon my head." On the right a group of over six men including a clergyman who wipes his brow and cries "The draft is in their favor. Our cause is lost. Oh dictatorium, dictatorium, dic-". Another gentleman behind him cries "They may vainly recken on a paltry unit, we have yet power to rent it peicemeal [sic]." In the distance a crowd cheers, and some hold signs for "Reform" and "Support the King & his ministers", etc

"William IV stands, very erect and stern, in profile to the right, holding at arm's length a birch-rod inscribed 'Reform'. Behind him, as ushers, on the extreme left, Brougham and Grey stand in consultation. The King says to a body of discomfited schoolboys (right): 'Get you gone and never let me see your faces again till you are Reformed'. The boys are (left to right) Wellington, wearing a peaked cap and an old, over-large, military coat, and carrying a bag, walks hand in hand with Peel who wears an ill-fitting policeman's tunic and holds a slate on which is scrawled the figure of a policeman (see British Museum satires no. 15768, &c). Beside and behind them are Sadler and Wetherell. In front of Peel walks Twiss with a book under his arm; next him is the small Sugden wearing a pinafore. Taller than the others are Hunt wearing a hunting-cap and holding ajar of his blacking (see British Museum satires no. 16575) and Sir R. Wilson wearing a smock and a cap and holding a slate inscribed 'Bob Wilson'. Wellington to Peel: 'Oh Bobby--Bobby what shall we do now?' Wetherell, looking back, says (as late M.P. for Boroughbridge, cf. British Museum Satires No. 16602): 'I am afraid I shall never be admitted into the school again'. Hunt: 'Who would have thought I should have been Hunt-ed out already'. Wilson: 'Its a shocking bad Job' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 16646]."--British Museum online catalogue
