He went to Bukhara to find out what had happened to two British army officers, who had disappeared playing 'The Great Game' in Central Asia.

Pub. Oct. 19 1829 by S. Gans 15 Southampton Street Strand.
Hand-coloured etching. 240 x 362mm (9½ x 14¼") Cut. Remains of album sheet verso.
A large bull, with the head of John Bull, is held down with difficulty by Wellington, Peel, and O'Connell who strain at a thick rope inscribed 'Catholic Bill', which encircles the bull's horns and head and is drawn through a staple so that its head is almost on the ground. The furious animal tries to get at four dogs with human heads who menace a turkey with the turbaned head of the Sultan. The largest cur, with [N]'icolas' on its collar, savages the bird which is on its back. The others are 'Miguel'; a puny dog clipped in the French manner, evidently Charles X, and one in a cocked hat who is probably Francis I. All watch the bull apprehensively. Wellington and Peel, the latter in a battered top-hat, wear long gaiters and short jackets, O'Connell wears a barrister's wig and an apron over breeches; he grasps the end of the rope and looks over his shoulder at the bull with fierce satisfaction.

The State Waggoner, and John Bull. Or_ The Waggon too much for the Donkeys.
J.s Gillray det & fec.
Published March 14th 1804 by H.Humphrey, 27 St James's Street, London.
Coloured etching 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾ "). Frame measures 475 x 380mm (18¾ x 15"). Slightly time stained. Bottom right hand corner missing. Unexamined out of frame.
A satirical scene depicting the British government as a broken-down wagon labeled “British State Waggon 1804” stuck in a muddy ditch and pulled ineffectively by eight asses. Prime Minister Henry Addington is shown helplessly pleading for help from John Bull, the embodiment of the British public, who stands confidently armed as a volunteer. John Bull mocks Addington for relying on poor cattle and points to a group of powerful but idle political horses with human heads, representing prominent political figures like Fox, Pitt, Sheridan, Grenville, and others. These figures are portrayed as either affectionately distracted, asleep, or feuding. Meanwhile, the overloaded wagon carries a corrupt and mismanaged state burden: taxes, pensions, sinecures, secret funds, and a leaky treasury. BM Satire 10232.
