The society donated a number of prints to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas, which enabled the museum to stage an exhibition of these prints in 2016: 'The 1930s in Prints: A Gift to Kansas City from The Woodcut Society'. Work by Nason was included in this exhibition.

Satire commenting on Wellington's relationships with cousins Sarah Villiers, Countess of Jersey and Harriet Arbuthnot. Lady Villiers was often ridiculed for 'affecting great intimacy with the Duke'.

Unusually, the small character of Paul Pry in the left corner points to an address along the top edge of the print: 'I'm sorry to intrude but some dirty Rogue has lately been copying my caricatures- robbing us of our ideas & just profit- may I ask of my Friends not to purchase unless they see the Publisher T. McLeans name at the bottom, all others are copies P. Pry'. BM Satire: 15717.

Etching, 345 x 225mm. 13½ x 9". Laid on conservation backing, with repaired tears.
'42' inscribed upper right, apparently in some series. It illustrates a dialogue in verse engraved below the design between 'Lord' and 'Dean'. The 'lord , writing at a table, receives the visit of a dean, who bows, hat in hand, and proffers a money-bag, asking for a bishopric.. On the floor in the foreground are documents partly cut and destroyed: "CHARTER COMMUNIUM Johannes del Gratia" and "LIBERTATUM give [?sive] MAGNA CHARTA". From a nearly closed box hang other documents also in bad repair: "HABE . . CORPUS Rex Magna B" ; "Bill of Rights"; "nilla [sic] Ransom". In an open chest are neatly rolled documents, evidently recent patent rolls, or grants, one of which shows the words "and Grant beloved". The document on which the Minister is writing is inscribed "List of persons proper for Pensions Rever[si]ons and Places for life &c. for his M-----y's private inspection", the first name on the list being John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. The Dean here depicted who is promised the 'first bishoprick', is Josiah Tucker, dean of Gloucester. He was reputed a ministerial propagandist. The peer resembles portraits of Lord Rochford, one of the Secretaries of State. BM: 5125
