This appears to be an attack on the pending measure of emancipation, demanded by public opinion and the Abolitionists, which was to be a leading issue at the general election, when the country was placarded with the Abolitionists' bill. Goderich, Colonial Secretary, was under the influence of Howick his Under-Secretary: both were in favour of immediate emancipation. When Goderich was removed from the Colonial Office on account of opposition (said to be Brougham's) to the Bill which he had in preparation, Howick resigned.

The Dis-Organist. HB Sketchs No.571.
HB [John Doyle.] A. Ducote's Lithogy.
Published by T. Mc.Lean, 26, Haymarket 29.th Jany. 1839.
Coloured lithograph. 284 x 419mm (11¼ x 16½"). Some toning.
A musical image showing Lord Durham playing the organ discordantly, with Lord Roebuck blowing the bellows. Lord Brougham (far right) has put the instrument out of tune; at left, a woman (Queen Victoria) and a man (Lord Melbourne) are shocked by the noise. It was universally believed that Lord Durham had come home from Canada in a towering rage, and would give full vent to his feelings as soon as the opening of the Session of Parliament should afford him an opportunity. In this belief he is here represented playing "a can(n)on" on the organ. Mr. Roebuck, who, as the agent in this country of the Canadian House of Representatives, took a very large share in every debate on Canadian questions, is engaged in the humble office of blowing the bellows; but the united efforts of Lord Durham and himself produce nothing but discord.

Title followed by: "And can I ever cease to be / Affectionate and kind to Thee / Who wast so very kind to me / My Mother". About this period the newspapers informed the public that Lord Brougham was paying a visit to his mother at Brougham-hall, and gave some particulars of the domestic affairs of his Lordship, with anecdotes of his venerable parent. From these, H.B. has been able to sketch the scene, the primitive simplicity of which has suggested the quotation from the well-known poem of "My Mother."

Lithograph. 305 x 444mm (12 x 17½"). Creased, soiling.
Negro slaves are being shaved by Goderich, fitted with shoes by Howick, and threatened by an overseer. A Negro with lathered chin sits full-face on a stool tightly swathed in a sheet, while Goderich holds him by the nose and flourishes a razor. The overseer, who dominates the design, stands in back view, legs apart, brandishing a scourge towards two deprecating Negroes. Before him is a sack inscribed 'Al. Thorp Northampton', and filled to overflowing with clumsy shoes. On the right Howick sits on a Negro's lap, gripping his leg and forcing on a shoe with a shoe-horn. The Negro registers distress. On the extreme right a newly-shod Negro hobbles off painfully. Behind is a palm-tree. This appears to be an attack on the pending measure of emancipation, demanded by public opinion and the Abolitionists, which was to be a leading issue at the general election, when the country was placarded with the Abolitionists' bill: "Am I not a man and a brother." Goderich, Colonial Secretary, was under the influence of Howick his Under-Secretary: both were in favour of immediate emancipation. When Goderich was removed from the Colonial Office on account of opposition (said to be Brougham's) to the Bill which he had in preparation, Howick resigned.

Reedsdale and Sidmouth both gave their last speeches earlier in 1829. Lithograph by John Doyle (1797-1868), cartoonist and painter who went by the pseudonym 'H.B.' Doyle began making political prints in 1827 and over a period of 22 years usually issued one a month during parliamentary seasons. While his prosperity enabled Doyle to move to a fashionable address overlooking Hyde Park which drew him into a circle of prestigious writers and artists including Wordsworth, Dickens and Coleridge, Doyle preserved his anonymity as 'H.B.' until 1843, when he revealed himself to Sir Robert Peel in a seventeen page letter justifying his motives and principles as a cartoonist.
