Satire on the departure from Wellington's cabinet of William Huskisson, represented here as a schoolboy in a fool's cap kneeling before a closed door placarded 'Wellington House Academy'. Huskisson, who had entertained hopes of becoming prime minister before the position was offered to Wellington, voted against the government over the East Retford Bill and subsequently offered to resign 'as a matter of form, not substance' (DNB). Wellington, however, took him at his word and seized the opportunity to rid himself of an uncomfortable colleague. As a result Huskisson's friends Dudley, Palmerston and Grant, along with the Irish Secretary Lamb all resigned (their names are written on a slate next to Huskisson in the print), a situation described by the Duke as a 'mutiny'.

Coloured etching. Framed, sight size. 260 x 370mm (10¼ x 17½"). Framed over platemark, unexamined out of frame.
Wellington as Prime Minister, in civilian dress but wearing a military medal, stands with closed eyes, bending forward and extending his arms, surrounded by ragged and starving men and women. He says: 'I can't See you'. Some cry, 'Pray open your eyes'; others, 'have pity on us'. A woman seated on the ground, holding a child, extends a hand; a man holds out his hat for alms. This was an attack on Wellington for his Corn Law, which put punitive duty on imports, to protect English landowners but keeping the price of bread high despite food shortages. Despite many opponents (including Karl Marx) the Corn laws lasted until 1846. BM: 16032.
