Scene at Barnes, or, A new reformer

A cheering crowd surrounds a carriage and pair which has been stopped by a barrier across the road. Wellington, raising his hat, stands in the carriage to address the crowd, which is partly bucolic, partly proletarian: 'Ladies and Gentlemen, when an unoffending individual is stopt in the King's highway, and made to utter words against his will, or thrown into the Thames, I certainly can have no objection to join you in exclaiming Reform for ever'. Beyond the barrier (right) is a (tricolour) flag inscribed 'Reform', and the corner of a cobbler's house with the cobbler in the doorway, which is placarded 'Boots & Shoes Mended on a Reform Principle'. The background is a rural reach of the Thames.
