Abstract:

"The head and shoulders of the dog, who has a handsome collar inscribed 'John Bull', project into the design from the right. One paw presses down a rat with the head of Wellington, who looks up in anguish at the dog's angry jowl. Behind are other frightened rats with human heads: a bloated bishop, Peel, Wetherell, Eldon, Cumberland, and two others. The rats have been robbing the barn of ears of wheat."--British Museum online catalogue.
