Caricature of the Duke of Wellington, as a statue in Roman armour, holding against his right hip a document inscribed 'Emancipation'. He wears a wreath of battered ears of corn (suggesting the straw crown of the lunatic as well as the Corn Bill), and faces an aggressive raven with the head of Eldon. Other menacing birds fly near. From the pedestal, as a background to the Duke's legs, projects a trophy of flags topped by French imperial eagles, with spear, bayonet, &c.

William Heath.
Pub June 11 1830 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket London.
Hand-coloured etching with large margins on 3 sides. Plate 260 x 372mm (10¼ x 14¾"). Stain to right by Wellington. Cut to plate at top.
Satire, published weeks before George IV's death, focussing on the Duke of Wellington's hostility towards the Duke of Clarence (subsequently William IV) and supposed autocratic intentions. Clarence rows a Thames wherry (oars inscribed 'William 4') towards the 'Crown Stairs' which Wellington guards, insisting 'come keep off- you are not coming in here'. Clarence's "Fare" is his Duchess, Adelaide, who holds the rudder-lines.
BM Satires: 16137.

A large woman seated at a piano sings 'I'd be a Butterfly' by Thomas Haynes Bayly. As she sings the words 'I'd have a pair of those beautiful wings', a cloven-hooved, dark-skinned, impish figure waves a wand and large butterfly wings sprout from her back, much to her surprise.
