Wellington stands in profile to the right, with his gloved left hand touching the broad brim of his hat. He is dressed as the driver of a mail-coach, holding his whip and a paper resembling the 'Gazette', headed 'Bill', representing the Catholic Relief Act of 1829. The Act was the culmination of the process of Catholic Emancipation throughout Britain, drawing support from the Duke of Wellington, as well as from the Whigs and liberal Tories. BM Satires 15731.

Pub April by T McLean 26 Haymarket. [n.d. c.1830.]
Hand-coloured etching. Sheet 355 x 250mm (14 x 9¾"). Trimmed within plate. Time stained.
Caricature of the Duke of Wellington, referring to the Bill to disenfranchise the forty shilling Irish freeholders which accompanied the Catholic Emancipation Relief Act, raising fivefold the economic qualifications for voting. The Bill passed with little opposition but not without protest. 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. BM Satires: 15722.

Wellington as a coal porter, carrying his military campbed balanced on his head. Half-way through his first term as Prime Minister, Wellington was already unpopular. He had been appointed Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports in January 1829, shortly after being made PM, mainly because he wanted to use Walmer Castle as a country residence. This caricature suggests he should leave government and retire there. BM Satires: 15867.

Portrait of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, in uniform with the 'Order of the Golden Fleece' at his collar. The Order, founded by Philip III, Duke of Burgundy in 1430 'to honor and exalt the noble order of knighthood', was later inherited by the Hapsburgs and split between the Spanish and Austrian branches. During the Peninsular War, when France was occupying Spain, the order was presented to Napoleon and his brother Joseph but these were revoked by King Ferdinand on the restoration of Bourbon rule in 1813. However the king confirmed the award made by the acting government of Spain to Wellington in 1812, with the approval of Pope Pius VII, making the Duke the first Protestant recipient.

[Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington] A Vision -- Past. Present.
William Heath.
Pub Feb 9th 1830 by T. McLean 26 Haymarket sole Publisher of W Heaths Etchings.
Hand-coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"), with wide margins.
Wellington's military success ('past') is contasted with his political instability ('present'). On the left he stands on a cloud immediately above Napoleon's tomb, with Fame blowing her trumpet and holding a wreath over his head. On the right he kneels precariously on the summit of a globe which is crushing the British people, some of whom try desperately to hold it up. It is covered, like a map, with islands or continents inscribed respectively 'Free Trade', 'National Debt', 'Currency', 'Taxes'. Dividing the two scenes, and in the upper part of the design, is a king enthroned, whose fleur-de-lis head identifies him as Charles X. Speech bubble coming from the fleur-de-lis reads 'all for me', the implication being that Napoleon's defeat served only to restore the Bourbons. This print was published only months before Charles was deposed in the July Revolution. BM Satires: 16030.
