"Caroline Norton with Lord Melbourne on her lap, as a lamb with human head; watching them from behind a tree is Mr Norton as a ram with cuckold's horns. One of a number of satires in 1836 referring to the scandal of Lord Melbourne's relationship with Caroline Norton (1808-1877), the abused wife of George Norton, who cited Melbourne in court."--British Museum online catalogue
