[John Lambton] A Row in the Play-Ground.
HB. [John Doyle.]
Published by T. Mc Lean 26 Haymarket 3rd Dec. 1838 A. Ducote's Lithog.y 70 St Martins.
Lithograph, printed area 270 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"). Trimmed close to printed border.
A satire on John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham (1792 - 1840) and his brief spell as governor-in-chief of British North America. He stands against a tree, a handkerchief held to his eye, injured by three rocks at his feet inscribed 'Act / of / Indemnity', thrown by Brougham, who lurks behind a tree on the far right. Durham's allies, including Sir William Molesworth and Lord Howick, attempt to console him, but Durham is upset at their failure to prevent the assault. Behind stands the Duke of Wellington, holding a cricket bat, saying 'It was a very hard blow, but he brought it on himself'. Lambton was appointed governor in 1837 to tackle unrest in Quebec but soon ran into problems, overstepping his powers by deporting imprisoned rebel leaders to Bermuda. When the matter was brought before the House of Lords by Brougham, Lambton resigned from his position after barely five months.
