| Description |
English: Wellington, in a coachman's caped great-coat over cavalry boots and sword, and holding his plumed cocked hat and whip, together with a way-bill headed 'King Bill', with the Royal Arms, extends his left arm to seize a bunch of reins projecting from the right margin. He says sternly: 'I say Bob [Peel, not depicted], this here Bit of Blood [cf. BM Satires No. 7233] must be led at first, and not Driven:——It wont do to Lash or Blindfold him or He, or the Mare Leader; will Kick over the Traces?!!'. A signpost points (right) 'To Bushey'. 16 July 1830

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) One of many imitations of, and a sequel to, No. 15731. One of many satires on the relations of Wellington and William IV; these are depicted at first as hostility on the King's part, cf. No. 16164, then as obsequiousness on the Duke's, cf. No. 16183, giving way to the old theme of Wellington's arrogance, cf. No. 15500. A foretaste of satires on a domineer¬ing Queen, see No. 17076, &c.; at first she was not unpopular. William IV was still at Bushey (cf. No. 9009). |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
