Satire on George IV's eventual assent to the Catholic Relief Bill (to which he was strongly opposed). Te King sits at a round library table and is poised to sign the 'Catholic Rel[ief] Bill', a long document, partly held up by Peel, who kneels. Close behind Peel are Lyndhurst and Wellington; the former uses his mace to block the coronation oath hanging on the wall, while the Duke who screens from the King a portrait of George III on the far wall. George IV's inkstand is supported on an angrily watchful British Lion. In a Gothic fireplace papers are burning: 'Petitions of the People' and 'Vox-Po[puli]'.

Jane, Duchess of Gordon (c.1748-1812, a patron of Robert Burns), argues with the Prince of Wales at a function, to the embarrassment of the attendees. During the Peace of Amiens Jane visited Napoleon in Paris and bought a painted portrait (presumably the miniature around her neck here), leading to a row with the Prince. She then sent a message to the King and Queen that she would not attend the Birthday, but went and was ignored.

The Hawarden Wood Block Estate Company Limited, or The Coloured Cousins at Work. There are still Coloured descendents of "the Gladstone family in Demerara," Extract from letter Published in St. Stephen's Revier, 14th. Jan, 1888. St. Stephen's Review Presentation Cartoon, Feb.y 4th. 1888.
Tom Merry. Del et Lith.
Coloured lithograph. 374 x 545mm (14¾ x 21½"). Vertical fold down the middle, as issued. A few small tears to edges
An attack on Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-98, Liberal Prime Minister but here Leader of the Opposition), whose father, Sir John Gladstone, had been one of the largest slave owners in the British Empire. Earlier in his career he was an opponent of the abolition of slavery, saying that emancipation should only happen after the moral education of the slaves. Here the suggestion is that the morals of the Gladstone family also needed attention, with the black workers on Gladstone's estates having a family resemblence. Tom Merry's wicked caricature published in 4 February 1888, of the Hawarden Wood Block Estate Company, where Gladstone sets his ‘Demarara cousins’ to work. William Mecham (1853-1902) had a music hall act in which he drew caricatures at lighning speed. 'St Stephen's Review', a Conservative weekly magazine, ran from 1883 to 1892.

[Charles Grey] Tommy Grey with the Tail of His Order!!! Lork What a Long Tail our Cat has Got.
W.Heath.
Pub Feb 15 1831 by T.McLean 26 Haymarket.
Coloured etching. Sheet 240 x 345mm (9½ x 13½"). Trimmed to printed border.
Earl Grey depicted as a cat with a long tail, walking along a wall, with a fish marked 'First Lord of he Treasury 6000' in its mouth. This attacks the Prime Minister for his nepotism: along his tail are references to payments made to members of his family by the government. This satire pre-dates the Reform Act, referred to on a poster on the wall. The Duke of Wellington, an opponent of the Act, appears as a stick-figure piece of graffiti, waving a sword.
