Vox populi, a great personage incog., Robert Seymour, 1829

George iv (left), not caricatured, and john bull (right) face each other across an ale-house table on which are a jug and two tumblers. The king wears the caped coat of an amateur coach-driver with top-boots and a bulky scarf. His right hand rests on a cane, his left arm on the table; he looks towards j. B. Through almost closed eyelids, saying, 'i believe mr bull you are no great admirer of his m*****y?' j. B. Is a respectably-dressed countryman with gaiters above the knee. He takes a long pipe from his mouth to answer: 'you are quite mistaken sir, i only wish i liked any one about or belonging to him half so well. ' nov 21 1829 hand-coloured lithograph. Date: 1829.
