Abstract:: "A pugilistic encounter between two old market-women who are Eldon (left) and Wellington (right). Eldon is much the stouter and more purposeful, facing his enemy grimly and aggressively. He has a basket of oranges (emblem of the Orange Lodges) beside him, and wears a flat wide-brimmed hat. Wellington wears a soldier's coat over his skirt and apron (as beggar-women or basket-women often did, cf. (e.g.) BM Satires No. 15763). His profile is apprehensive, his hands loosely closed and on the defensive. Each has a bottle-holder; that of Eldon is John Bull, a stout yokel who puts his hand on his principal's bulging posterior, saying, 'Welldone--old Mother Baggs--you have got the best bottom after all. see what it is to have a good Constitution--give it her--she has'ent got the Mounshears to deal with now.' Wellington's supporter is a bare-legged Irish ragamuffin with a pipe thrust in his little hat. He capers excitedly, putting a hand on Wellington's back to push him forward, saying, 'Murder ye ould cat kape your fists Tight--or you'I let the Ould Orange-Woman bate ye clane.' In the background is a freely sketched crowd of spectators, women of St. Giles or Billingsgate. Two only are characterized: a fat woman with parson's wig and bands, with a basket of 'Oxford Sauce' on her head, looks over her shoulder at a handsome young virago (Peel), who is shouting at her, to say: 'Come give us none of your Jaw--Mother peel'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A scene in the Lords. A large Green Bag stands wide open on the floor before the Woolsack; John Bull, a fat 'cit', takes from it a bottle inscribed 'Imputation' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13796]; the cork, in the form of a crown, flies up, and smoke rises. Eldon, seated on the Woolsack, one foot regally on a sack inscribed 'Mother Coal', scowls at the bottle; his mouth, like those of the other peers, is closed by a padlock, but he holds up a paper inscribed: 'My Lords-- Right or Wrong we will proceed'. J.B. faces him with arm flung back, exclaiming: "Stop--hear me first--step one Inch if you dare without my consent-- I protest against your Secret Tribunal I'll protect the Queen look at this Bottle--and look at that Reptile." He refers to a serpent wearing a royal crown and representing the King; this issues from a rent in the bag which is inscribed 'The Green Bag Opened'. Peers are grouped near Eldon, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Wellington, and Liverpool being the most prominent. On the right, behind a bar, stands the Queen wearing a small spiky crown, surrounded by three counsel (Brougham, Denman, and Lushington)."--British Museum online catalogue
